Swim with wild Atlantic spotted dolphins off Bimini, in the clear shallow banks of the Bahamas, one of the best dolphin swims in the Americas. A resident population, studied since the 1980s, gathers in pods of 50 or more and is famous for curiously approaching and free-diving around snorkelers, often with bottlenose dolphins too. Warm water and superb visibility make encounters reliable, best from June to August.
