LISTEN TO THIS!
Dylan dropped the hydrophone into the ocean today & the whale song was INCREDIBLE!
Just after he pulled it up the whales surfaced right near the boat. How intense is the whale song?
Did you know only the male Humpback whales sing 🎶

27 sleeps until our first whale swim (but who’s counting ..)
Each year between May and November Australia’s east coast hosts around 30,000 humpback whales on migration from Antarctica.
Out on expedition today we saw two humpback whales just outside the bay! We officially start our whale swims on the 15th June. Jump online to book your spot for the very first weekend.
FAQ: How close do the whales get on our whale swims?
The proximity of the whales is entirely up to them—we maintain a respectful distance and let them approach on their terms. Humpback whales are known for their gentle and curious nature; they often come close to our boat out of curiosity.

When a grey nurse shark smiles for the camera 😁
The viz was 30m plus on the weekend and the sharks were happy to come and have a close up look at the divers.

These whales were so close, they came right up to the back of our boat. You could look right into their eye & see every scar & barnacle on their giant bodies.

This is definitely one of my favourite moments of 2023.
What was your highlight for the year?

Have you ever had a wild seal look at you like this?!
~
3 words that come to mind when diving with seals are Curious, Graceful, Soulful.
As you glide together in an underwater dance, their big beautiful eyes connect deeply with your soul.

Battle scars!

In the sea, it’s a survival of the fittest. Only the strong and resilient will out last. The ocean is the last untamed frontier, raw and free. This is what I love about it 🌊 🩵
