Raul Novelo will never forget the first time that he saw a dolphin show, it was 1977 and he was eight years old when he visited the Miami Seaquarium. According to his mother, he stayed by the dolphin pool forever and might still be there if she hadn’t dragged him away!
In 1991 Raul graduated with a degree in Business Administration. In 1995 Raul was first hired at Via Delphi in X’caret Park and then went on to do an internship at Dolphin Quest, Bermuda.
Raul first found his career after he met Shelley and Mike Wood of Dolphin Discovery and ABC Animal Training during the regional IMATA conference in Mexico.
In 2002 Raul began his career with Dolphin Discovery Mexico and has extensive experience in British Virgin Islands working as Senior Trainer at both Dolphin Discovery location in Antigua and Anguilla and as Supervisor at both Dolphin Discovery locations in Tortola and Cayman.
