To All Participants of Dolphin Touch in July, August, and September:
We are currently offering free rentals of marine shoes instead of waders for
all Dolphin Touch participants to help prevent heatstroke.
Please wear clothing that you don't mind getting wet, as there is a
possibility of getting splashed during the program.
If you still prefer to use waders, they are available upon request. Please
indicate this in the Requests & Remarks when making your reservation.
