Over 30 years with dolphins
Since 1992, Éric Demay has observed cetaceans in the wild. Through TURSIOPS, he shares an approach grounded in patience and respect for wild animals.
Dolphin Ethology Courses
Spend a full week at sea discovering extraordinary marine wildlife. In a small group, learn about the behaviour of wild dolphins in the Hurghada region and contribute to field observations, always respecting the animals.
Understand before interacting
An encounter with a wild dolphin begins with observation. Resting, hunting, travelling, social interactions, and mothers with their calves all call for a different approach. We adapt our behaviour to the animals. The dolphin is always free to choose whether to engage.
TURSIOPS NGO
Founded in 1993, the TURSIOPS association raises awareness of dolphin life through field observation, photography, documentaries and numerous media appearances on television, radio and in the press. Its eco-volunteering programs offer the chance to learn about dolphin ethology and contribute to field observations in the Red Sea.
ERIC DEMAY
From his first encounters in Bunbury, Australia, to his work in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, Éric Demay’s journey has brought together observation, education and cetacean conservation. He founded TURSIOPS in 1993 and is also the author of several books on dolphins, published in France and Germany since 2003.
