We always used to swim with the dolphins in the bay in front of Safliya Island. Unfortunately now due to the ongoing works, the dolphins have left. There was a pod of appox 7 to 10 dolphins there.
Since then, I have fished down the deep channel, going past Banana island, and come across a pod of about 30 or so dolphins. They stayed with the boat for quite some time, leaping in front of the bow as we moved along. They are still around, as are shark (not dangerous)..but you need to go down into the deeper off shore waters, and if you have a reasonable sized fishing boat, you can do this. Dhows not needed, just something upwards of 20ft .
