Swimming with mother and calf Humpback whales

  • Quit posting all this cool shit George, you're making us (me) jealous. That had to be an amazing experience, congrats and thanks for sharing.

  • Thanks Nate, so dont post the video of me swimming with the big Marlin then? ;)
    I hate to watch it actually as I just see a missed rare opportunity :)

  • That's pretty rad George. Are there instances where the mother doesn't want the diver to get close….and lets the diver know it? Shit. I wouldn't swim up to a whale and her baby. Unreal Dude.

  • Klabautermann thanks :)
    Hank hell yeah the mother lets you know with body posture and her actions... I would not bother her if I thought it would bother her... she came to me ;)

  • Awesome vid nature boy :)


    Do they often come so close to shore?


    On the Atlantic side of the island they do come that close often but on the calm Caribbean side almost never. Was a rare treat.
    Trying to get up the balls to swim with sperms next season, but something about a giant apex predator and I fooling around makes me a 'TAD' hesitant :laughing:
