    West coast is a grand place to do it. Between mayo and donegal you will find them pretty easily if ur out and about. Dived with them before and swam with them afterwards in Mullaghmore. They hung around for ages then they were just gone. Really cool thing to do thou! :)

    Think thats at Fanore? Just past Ballyvaughan in north Clare. We've seen a friendly dolphin come very close to shore there on a few ocassions but not often.

    I swam with a Dolphin north of Lahinch, might have been Dusty. Very friendly, when it saw I was reluctant to rub it it swam repeatedly between my arm and my body until I got the message:P
