Do not chase cetaceans or drive a boat directly towards them, wherever possible, let them approach you;
Do not respond to them by changing course or speed in a sudden erratic manner. Slowing down or stopping suddenly can confuse and alarm dolphins as much as sudden acceleration;
Do not swim with, touch or feed cetaceans, for your safety and theirs;
Ensure that no more than one boat is within 100 metres, or three boats within one kilometre of cetaceans at any one time;
Please spend no longer that 15 minutes near the animals;
Do not dispose of any rubbish, litter or contaminants at sea;
If they approach the boat or bow-ride, maintain a slow speed and course until clear. Cetaceans should never be chased or harassed in an attempt to make them bow-ride. When watching dolphins, always let them decide what happens.
