Humpback whale photos (September 2009)

12 September 2009

Dear visitors,

Since my encounter with the humpback whale on August 08, 2009, many people wanted to see the pictures. This is normal.

I couldn't photograph her because I had to look after my group of 6 people in the water. A tourist with an underwater camera was able to take pictures and film her. The encounter with the whale lasted at least 10 minutes in 3 phases:

FIRST PHASE : I launched with my group and approached the whale; 2 Tursiops truncatus dolphins were playing in front of her.
SECOND PHASE : the whale came in front of us at 5 metres
THIRD PHASE: it moved towards the boat and then out to sea.

These 4 photos are the third phase.

Many thanks to Mr Federico Bagiotti and his wife for their photos! And thanks to the whale!
