1. Very cool

[broiles]

2. WOW!

[shenmue]

3. No way!

I was waiting, and then... awesomeness!

[hlthe2b]

4. wow... amazing--but they were lucky to be just distant enough away

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. It was truly lucky from start to finish!

[rhett o rick]

6. I wonder if it was luck. I think the whales fully knew what they were doing.

They werent hungry for humans. Thanks for posting.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. YW!

The luck was had by the humans who were photographing the wildlife...

Being in the right spot at the right time.

[rhett o rick]

8. Absolutely.

[The Wielding Truth]

25. Yes. Unless they usually feed there. Wonder if that is a feeding spot. The whales did not seem to

mind the divers.

9. I'm just in awe of those beautiful beings.

I can't imagine experiencing that -- it would change you forever.

There was a good chance of inadvertent injury, just because the whales are so immense and powerful, but I like to think they're smart enough to finesse their movements to avoid hurting the people.

10. All divers pee in their wet suits. Uncontrollable bowel movements are less common.

Thanks Peggy, very cool video.

[malaise]

11. Wow!

Did not see that coming - amazing

[arcane1]

12. That explains sea-monster legends perfectly!

I loved how the birds would follow along, presumably enjoying the fish scraps. It's all connected!

13. What did I just watch?

[oneofthe99]

14. And still people insist on hunting and killing these wonderful creatures of nature

Amazing video and something those divers will never forget.

[ErikJ]

15. Humpbacks would love this.

[Control-Z]

16. What is this?

It is pretty but I don't know what it is.

[Sinti]

22. kayaks - n/t

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. Shanghai gridlock.

[Oakenshield]

18. That would have given me the fright of a lifetime.

One minute you're swimming in murky water and the next this hulking whale rises barely an arm's length from you. Very cool video. Pity the divers didn't catch it happening from beneath the surface.

[libodem]

19. OMG

Hope everyone had their Attends on tight. I would have blown mine out. Beautiful but so close. Woo Wee.

[handmade34]

20. just wow!

[GoCubsGo]

21. Wow!!!

Thank you for sharing that, Peggy!

[NightWatcher]

23. My wife is a marine biologist and I've done marine mammal work

and if you are ever that close to a bait ball (of small feeder fish), you'll want to get away very quickly else you meet their predator. I've taken kayakers right through rolling feeding frenzies of bait fish and then sharks.

You will want to get away from that situation as soon as you are aware of it... or else you'll be whale (or shark) poop in a day or so.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

24. WOW!!

thanks for that, Peggy!

[underpants]

26. Clearly fake

That was two guys in a whale outfit

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Uh-huh....suuuuuuuuuuure it was, lol!

[ljm2002]

28. Almost like being there...

...and yes, that was AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing!

[Liberal_in_LA]
