Snorkel Experience at the Seas Epcot

Anyone do any of the snorkel, swim w/ the dolphins experience at the Seas at Epcot? I'm thinking of doing it. Thoughts?

I have done the Seas Aqua Tour (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tours-and-experiences/seas-aqua-tour/) (snorkel) and Dive Quest (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tours-and-experiences/epcot-dive-quest/) (scuba dive), but there wasn't any dolphin experience offered for either of these tours. In fact we were told not to go anywhere near the dolphins while doing the dive or snorkel tours. If we did we would be asked to leave.

Dolphins in Depth (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/tours-and-experiences/dolphins-in-depth/) is an interaction where you get to be in waist deep water with the dolphins. I don't believe you actually get to swim with them, but you get to work with them by giving them hand signals/commands. You get to pose with the dolphins for a picture before your tour is over.

The dolphins are actually kept in a sectioned off area of the tank and are not allowed to interact with the larger tank inhabitants. I was told that the dolphins like to play with the turtles and treat them like tops and chase after the sharks and rays.

If I were to choose between the three, the dolphin experience would be my third choice as Dive Quest and Seas Aqua tour you are allowed to go out on your own and explore the entire attraction. This is just my choice as I have done them both and know what to expect from them. I did like to be paraded out in front of everyone wearing my wet suit!:D I am sure which ever tour you decide to take you will enjoy your time in the tank.

Brian gave a good overview, so I'm just pitching in to saw both the AquaSeas Tour and Divequest were awesome experiences. Well worth the money and a lot of fun.

Yeah thanks guys. This is what i'm looking for. I'm just trying to see from other folks if it was worth the money. Hopefully i can squeeze into a vest.
