Rating: Summary: My son LOVES it Review: My son, five years old, saw this one time before we got one of our own. FOR WEEKS, all he could talk about was Captian Jon and the dolphins, fish etc. He remembered facts about the ocean (that even I didn't remember) and he had only seen the DVD once. When we got our own copy he immediately called one of his friends to come over and watch it with him. My daughter, who is 8, decided that if her brother liked it then it must be too "baby" for her and said she was not going to watch, but when I put it in, she sat and watched the whole thing and then told me she thought it was cool. I resisted the urge to say I told you so! It is VERY educational but really fun and that is what makes it so great. They learned things about the ocean, how to protect it and had such a great time doing it that they didn't know they were learning. I highly recommed it for all ages. The scenery is beautiful and kept me interested too!
Rating: Summary: Fun Jumping Dolphins! Review: The best part of this video? The dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys. As for the overall video, the photography is solid - and the special features are a plus. This DVD packs in more than some IMAX movies.
Rating: Summary: The Message is Clear Review: The thing my family likes best about this DVD is the simple message on how we all can do something to protect the ocean. The program goes something like this:-Overview -Facts about the oceans, waves and tides -Dolphins -Scuba diving -Fish -Protecting the coral reef -Shipwrecks -What we all can do to help The music/pictures and host make it an entertaining look for older children.

Rating: Summary: The family is ready for Florida Review: This DVD really helped my three children get ready for Florida (it was recommended by a friend). We like the way Captain Jon traveled from the Dry Tortugas in the Florida Keys (beautiful pictures) all the way to Miami. We plan to visit the Dolphin Research Center along the way (looks like a ton of fun!) and do some snorkeling as well. My hats off to Captain Jon (who, by the way, leaves his hat on when he goes SCUBA diving!!). This is a fun video - I recommend watching it as a family (my children are 6, 9 and 11) if you're getting ready to visit the coast. Thanks Captain Jon!
Rating: Summary: Science Teachers Pay Attention! Review: We found Captain Jon's exploration of the ocean to be educational and beautiful. My 10-year-old daughter suggested that science teachers could use this in teaching about the ocean. If teachers used informative presentations like this one, every student would enjoy science. If you are teaching about oceanography, the environment, underwater life, or dolphins, this DVD will be a superb compliment to your instruction.
