I attended the academy and had a great time. The instructors were wonderful! We would highly recommend this program for anyone that is interested in learning more about dolphins, While I was in the training program, my husband did his scuba diving, I watched the group when they were in the water. The aquarium is small, but it does have some interesting things. We stayed at the Breezes near by, so we were able to walk to and from the aquarium. Highly recommended!September 05, 2017
