Humpback Whale
The humpback whale, also called rorqual (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a whalebone whale.
We are talking about a huge cetacean here, with a length around 13/14 meters (44 feet) for an adult specimen, and an average weight of 25 metric tons.
They can do spectacular jumps above the water surface, and their calls (the famous whale song) are complex and highly sophisticated.
It’s a real treat to hear them during a dive, especially when diving with a rebreather.
These enormous cetaceans can be found in all of the globe’s oceans. During the austral winter, they migrate to tropical waters for a few months.

Small apnea then down to 10 meters deep. It was as if the whale took the pose for the photo.
Mother and Baby
During a boat ride, we met a whale group that was heading south. This group consisted of a mother and her calf, but also a third whale that followed them. It is commonly called Escort.

The whale was beating of the tail to the surface of the water. You can see his eye looking at me while she was doing her show .....
Face to face with Humpback whale
For a moment the whale faced me. It is impressive to see an animal of several tons advance towards you !!!
Humpback whale and her calf , a magical encounter!!!!
A calf born about a month ago with his mother. You should know that calves can take up to 80 kg per day. They absolutely grow and take prompt forces to be ready to undertake their first major migration to the Antarctic.
Just below the surface, the reflections at the surface of the water are still present in my thoughts. Is unforgettable encounter with the giant of the seas.
I see You!!!!
