Dolfins encounters in Lanzarote

On this picture you can see the "Sound Bubbles" generated by the Shelltone, it's amazing how much the dolfins love to play with those bubbles, when they smashed them the sound just spread on the water.

Excursions in Lanzarote very soon

We are going back to the Ocean to meet with bottlenose dolfins in Lanzarote Canarias very soon... Keep informed, everybody is welcome to join us aboard.

Another great encounter with bottlenoses.

Today, after ten minutes of Shelltone underwater playing, about 50 bottlenose dolfins appears, together with Jan Cercone and Rocio Castellano Garcia, we swim and played with them for allmost 1 hour, as they just stayed and enjoyed the sound of the Shelltone I was playing for them. Again, they were wild offshore bottlenose dolfins, it's getting obvious now that someting new is happening here in Lanzarote.

Also last night we had a "whale sound healing session" with Jan Cercone, Carlos and Erik, in the Pyramide at Costa Teguise. About 60 people assist our session, it was wonderfull the share the feelings and emotions we had the same day with the dolfins...That was an escellent evening. The studies of those bottlenose tribes will continue, and probably within 3 or 4 month, while we will have establish an approach protocol, we might take people with us to share this unique experience.

Close encounter with a bottlenose family.

Jan Cercone is coming today from San francisco to work with us on bottlenose dolfins ecouters offshore Lanzarote, playing music and using meditation technics.
Yersterday, about 5 miles offshore Puerto Calero, aboard Christina and Juan's Blue Falcon, we had a beautifull encounter with a "bottlenose family" they came to us after I stood for ten minutes playing the Shelltone under water with the boat stand still. The family of about ten individuals played with Rocio, Christina and Juan, while a large male faced me under water for 10 long minutes and engaged a sound exchage. Then they all vanished. I have a strong feeling we will meet again. The beautifull thing is that they are not "coastal" dolfins, they are offshore cruisers, we are talking about wild animals, nothing to compare with dolfins we use to meet in the Bahamas os South Kihei in Maui, that make this close encounter rare and beautiful.
