My Story

Atocha is Pandora's second daughter whose father is Pacino, a male dolphin from SeaWorld. She was named after a Spanish ship called the Nuestra Señora de Atocha, meaning Our Lady Atocha. This ship famously sank off the Florida Keys in 1622 while carrying a great deal of treasure including millions of dollars worth of gold and precious gems.

It was clear from the moment she was born that Atocha had fully inherited her mother’s curiosity and sense of independence. A few hours after birth, she was already using her strong swimming skills to sneak away from Pandora and go on adventures around her lagoon!

Atocha enjoys showing off by stationing, blowing raspberries, and diving by herself as well as offering back rubs to guests who are absolutely delighted to make her acquaintance. If you pass by her lagoon, be sure to wait a few seconds and take a close look. Atocha will surely be ready to wave at you and add a few more members to her ever-expanding circle of admirers.
