One Day Program - Testimonials

Hi,
my name is Laura Vosahlik and I just wanted to write and tell you how wonderful our experience was with your program. I had been down to Panama City earlier this year for spring break, and due to a tight budget, went on another dolphin encounter program that was a total disappointment. Your program was so great because it was educational, fun, and the people working were SO nice and helpful! They really taught us a lot and made sure that we had a great time. My dad didn't even get in the water but he too had an amazing time as well. I will definitely come again!
Thanks,

Laura Vosahlik

Just to say thanks for a great day.
I know that the kids had an experience of a life time. It gave us a chance to compare and contrast the global picture about the Dolphins. We originally wanted to swim with the Dolphins at Sea World, but are glad that we had the WILD EXPERIENCE. At Sea World, we were able to touch and feed the Dolphins. It was a dollar a fish, sold four at a time. They must of made a fortune. At no time was there any mention that touching or feeding was wrong in the long term. This means that a lot of people will move on un-educated. This is a failing of Sea World in our opinion. We will recommend our Wild Experience to family and friends. If you could send the video of the dive we would appreciate it.
Thanks again,

Hi guys! I feel like such a dog for not getting you your goodies yet. At first we had a little problem getting several supplies from manufacturers. After all of that worked out and I started working on the projects, I realized there was a lot more work involved than I originally thought. Emily started second grade at the end of the summer and it has been impossibly time consuming. She has a horribly tough second grade teacher. Needless to say, we've had a very interesting school year! I'd say we spend several hours a night on homework - even on the weekends. I am still working diligently and will send them out as soon as I can get it all done. In the meantime, I wanted to let you know that we still think of you all the time and are glad to call you friends. Emily did her October book report on a book named Dolphins in the Deep. That one was a written book report. I thought you would get a kick out of seeing Emily's December shoe box book report she had to do for school. She had to write out cards saying enemies, food, habitat, interesting facts and type of animal. She used blue cello paper for the water and you can see the dolphins balling up the fish "underneath the water." She made sure to put a dolphin tangled in a net to show that enemy, too. She had to talk to the class when presenting the book report and apparently she went on and on with facts that she had learned in Florida in addition to her written facts from her book. I thought Denis would love to hear that! By the way, Emily made an A on her book report!!! Yeah! The class got to ask questions of the presenter. The biggest thing the kids wanted to know was how dolphins could have 1/2 their brain sleep. They just couldn't grasp the concept. Emily loved that one! Also, attached is a picture of her birthday cake Nana made for her and her dolphin balloon. Dolphins, dolphins, everything dolphins. All these dolphins always brings me back to the memories of you. I hope this e-mail finds everyone happy and well. Emily got a little MP3 player for Christmas. Guess what pictures she made sure were loaded on there - Florida trip of the dolphins and of her new friends, of course! Take Care and I will stay in touch! Love,

Cindy Geiger and the gang

Denis,
I just wanted to thank you once again for the opportunity you gave Elizabeth and myself to visit the Gulf dolphins! We were so blessed to encounter so many, and to see them so up close. More than anything, it was so rich to get to know Thomas and Thibaut (biologists staff), and learn about their experience with the dolphins. As the day went along and as we followed the dolphins, they would explain certain behaviors and I was so grateful to have such a learning experience. I don't know if they guys told you, but Elizabeth and I are moving to Turkey next year to teach English, and we're planning to visit the guys in Belgium! She and I love making new friends, so thank you for providing us with the opportunity for that!
Once again, I hope the best for Water Planet, and I thank you for your efforts.

Hi Denis & Nathalie
Thank you for a really wonderful time. We ALL did not want to come home. Which just shows how much you really made our time in Panama City Beach a memorable experience. You never know, we may come back again. But the memories you have given us will last a lifetime. We got home at 8am this morning. It was a rush all day long. It took 6 hours to get to Orlando airport. Then we flew to Philadelphia, we almost had to run to the gate to get on our connection back to England. They were just boarding as we got there. Did you have any more spectacular encounters with the Dolphins since we left?? I hope the interns got home safely. Please would you forward us contacts for them. It would be nice to keep in contact with them.
Once again thank you for the experience you gave us.

Helen, Gary, Jonathan, Alex and Rebekah Cumberland
