Moorea 2022
Spent 5 days swimming with humpback whales. The weather was mixed, usually cloudy in the afternoons, sunny in the mornings, occasional rain. The encounters with the calf is very unusual, they don't always come out to investigate the people in the water.

Male Humpback (Oct 29, 2022)
Motionless about 40 feet down, singing his song. Some high pitched squeals, some like a wolf howling, some like a cats meow, some low groans that you can feel through your body.
