The Internships with dolphins
For a knowledge of the sea life
Ecovolunteer internship in the Red Sea
The NGO TURSIOPS created in 1993 studies the behaviors of dolphins who choose the contact with the mankind.
The last project called "Ethologie du Dauphin" consists of a research's work
of dolphins in the Red Sea in Egypt.
Since 2012, we collect datas for the scientific's research.
In addition, videos are produced for the benefit of the NGO
TURSIOPS .
TURSIOPS organizes these internship with the dolphins Tursiops aduncus,
the eco-volunteer works consist of actively participating in this research
supervised by Eric DEMAY, specialist of dolphins since 1992.
By Eric DEMAY, Internship's Director:
«We spend the week on a boat specially adapted for swimming in snorkeling (fins, mask and tuba). We sleep in the lagoons in the very safety zone.
IMPORTANT:For the greatest respect of the animals THE TRAINEES ARE IN THE NUMBER OF 6 MAXIMUM on the week. We sometimes work with only 3 peoples!
I do not want just a "swimming with dolphins" where only the swimmers enjoy it, because the cetaceans deserve another approach, the quality of our encounter is our priority.
During a trip we have a 100% of chance to see the dolphins.
They really come to us and sometimes they want a real interactions. My idea is to meet the dolphins in the water by accepting their way of life but however respecting their vital needs, sleeping and hunting but sometimes as well their social interactions. My experience closest to them since 1992 allows me to better guess their needs and their moods."
French and English speacking on board.
Price 1800 Euro.
