The first thing you notice is the sound—water tapping against the pool edge, a low chatter of visitors, and the soft exhale of a dolphin that seems to time its breath with your own. At a dolphin facility on the edge of Cabo San Lucas, a Pacific bottlenose circles with the casual confidence of an old performer; its skin gleams like polished stone and its eyes study you the way a teacher studies a new student.
