Am going to florida march 2005.  Want to book a dolphin swim suitable
for my daugher who is 6 years old.  However I can only find ones that
include at 7 day pass for seaworld etc.  Price is coming to around 800
dollars for one adult and one child swim (plus other adult for
watching only).  Is there anywhere I can book something without having
to book a seven day pass?

Hi helpme1-ga,
What do you think of the rates by Captain Seaweed Charters at:
http://www.captseaweed.com/rates.html#special ?
It seems to be about $600 for 2 people for one day.

Sorry, should have given more information, would prefer somewhere in
shallow water.  Also does not have to be a whole day thing, just an
hour or two would be fine.
