Budget Travel/swimming with dolphins

Question
A friend and I are planning on going into Sinai for a few days and want to swim with dolphins.  I've been to the area before and I know that there is some kind of dolphin beach in Nuweiba, but we were looking for something closer to Dahab.  Also, all the information online I can find about swimming with dolphins includes it in some kind of package deal.  We will be travelling independently and just want to do the swim for a few hours, not sign up for a seven day tour.  Any websites you can point me to that would have more information like this for me, could help me.  Also, if you just happen to know this yourself, tell away.  

Thanks,

Michal Leah

Answer
Hi Michael: Sounds like fun. We did swim with a dolphin while scuba diving in the Turks and Caicos. Other than than my only exerience with Dolphin 'swims' is Hawaii and Moorea. I'd approach a web search that contacts local business/tour people in Dahab. Perhaps they have a tourist bureau/office, government office in addition to local travel, tour people. Also, someone that offers private sightseeing, treking may be willing to share the 'answer' to your Dolphin quest. Good luck.
