Swimming with dolphins in Sharm El Sheikh

Swimming with dolphins in Sharm El Sheikh can be a wonderful gift for your child or loved one, because such an event will never be forgotten! And the photos taken by a professional dolphinarium operator will delight you at home even after years, and bring you back to those warm and bright days spent in Sharm El Sheikh in the pool with dolphins.

Did you know that swimming with dolphins is referred to as dolphin therapy and psychologists have proven the positive effect of dolphins on improving a person’s condition and well-being. When an adult or child meets a dolphin, it gives them a pleasant feeling of relaxation and calm, develops a sense of empathy and improves interpersonal relationships. Since dolphins are very charming and have high intelligence, they are able to read a person’s mood. These animals are altruistic by nature, for example, if one individual from the group is injured, the rest will look after it, help it float to the surface so that it can breathe. This altruism goes beyond species boundaries, because there are many cases where dolphins helped drowning people and even whales.

Another very interesting fact is that dolphins in a school give themselves names from birth and recognize other, specific individuals by a special whistle. These are few of the animals that experience the need for interspecies communication. This explains their extraordinary friendliness towards humans.

Also, did you know that a dolphin’s body is warm to the touch? Since they are warm-blooded mammals, their body temperature reaches 360, almost like a human’s! Is it really interesting? And even the fact that they breathe with lungs because they do not have gills, although they are born and live in water, is even more admirable for the uniqueness of these animals. Here are some more unimaginable facts about dolphins: they can hold their breath underwater for up to 10 minutes and go to depths of up to 300 meters! How do dolphins sleep? In fact, they are half asleep, half awake – since the dolphin’s brain has two hemispheres, when one hemisphere sleeps, the other remains active and helps the animal navigate in the water. In this case, one eye of the dolphin is open and the other is closed. This is also due to the fact that they breathe air and from time to time they need to rise to the surface to inhale.
