Reviews:

"It was a truly amazing experience to actually work hands on with dolphins in the Flordia Keys. Every day we saw the dolphins up close and personal. It is a great way to determine if this is the correct career path for you, and if it is, how to go about acheiving it. The staff was absolutely amazing and really made you feel like part of the DRC family. Because of the small class size you really bond as a group and I have made some lifelong friends. It was both educational and enjoyable, I learned so much but I hardly realized I was doing it. They made everything so interactive and interesting. It was one of the best experiences of my life. "
