Hi James. You should be absolutely fine doing the dolphin swim with Tempation Sailing in Adelaide as long as you can hold on to the flotation line connected to the stern of the boat. On boarding the boat you will be given a full length, 5mm wetsuits, which acts as a full body flotation device and you cannot sink with this on. Here's some information explaining what happens on board the boat:

Over the years we have refined our briefing and techniques to accommodate the most nervous of dolphin swimmers, people who have never snorkelled before or those who aren't strong in the water:

  • On boarding Temptation you will be given a full length, 5mm wetsuits, which acts as a full body flotation device ( cannot sink)
  • You are given a briefing (about 15 minutes) on what to do and not do when entering and being in the water.
  • Colour visual charts are also used to help show what to do and not do when entering and being in the water.
  • Fully experienced crew will demonstrate how to use your mask and snorkel and can assist when trying masks on.
  • All swimmers must hold onto a flotation line connected to the stern of Temptation.
  • If at the end of the briefing and snorkel demonstration you are still not confident in entering the water you can stay onboard and do the dolphin watch. We will then refund the difference of $40.00 back to you.
