Orcas Spy Hopping

Look at all of those empty seats! (Although, in truth the stadium appears to be fairly large)

Do the trainers go into the water with the Orcas? It would be interesting to know how few marine parks left in the world have humans directly interact with Killer Whales in water rather than remaining on land.
 
@snowleopard It was a Monday afternoon in May so I don't think the empty seats will be too much of a concern.

I didn't see any waterwork, but the show in general was a bit underwhelming and only featured two of the four orcas at the park (possibly a third did a sort of token lap at the beginning, my memory fails me). At this point they'd only been open a few months and I'm sure they will hope to build up the repertoire of tricks with time. I don't know if they plan to have humans in the water (or have already done so in the intervening months), but my guess would be that they will.
