I'm heading to Sea World in a couple of weeks and was wondering if the trainers were alllowed back in the water for the Believe show?

I heard not. My moms friend was just there and said the show just isn't the same. but she had a great time otherwise.

I was there yesterday and they were not back in the water at the Shamu show. There was a lot and I mean a lot interaction between the trainers and the performers. Lot of affection being given to the whales.

I have to say after seeing the show without the trainers on August 5th it was not even close to the original. I did get some info regarding the situation that makes very little sense. The trainers are in the water during training sessions and rehearsals but OSHA won't allow them in the water during an actual show.

That's strange. Sea World isn't my cup of tea so I haven't been there in 20 years but that doesn't make any sense.
