SAFETY STOP?



I just climbed out of the sea after a bizarre experience. After our safety stop, we'd drifted for a while, waiting for the boat pickup. I noticed a huge Humpback tail sticking out of the sea nearby, so I swam over to see if I could get a shot.

With the tail towering over me, the big whale was just lying inverted, vocalising. After a minute or two, the animal detected my presence and kicked its huge tail and sped off leaving me hurtling around in its wash!

I was then passed by the rest of the pod, which came swimming by with purpose.

What a morning...
