@10Yunz10 This used to be known as "Dolphin Lagoon" on a small island @ 15 minutes boat ride off Batam. They moved in @ 2007 to Bali.

@houghtonrich ohh i see. i thought it was in batam. so you mean they move to bali? anw nice video!

[houghtonrich]

@10Yunz10 Yes - this video was when they were in Batam. I think they were on Batam for 5 years before moving to Bali. It's a great experience, they are amazing animals and it is very special to get so close. Hope you get to swim with dolphins too!
