Info from Licensor: "Diving off Double Island Point yesterday when we had a surprise visit from a few pretty curious whales. We had the boat tell us some whales had just surfaced near us so we were keeping an eye on them and watching for them but lost sight of them about 10 seconds before this all happened. We were free diving at the time with nothing but our camera's to get it all. As soon as we saw the whales had a calf we immediately tried to get as far as possible, knowing from previous experience that it's best to keep your distance when whales have calfs because they're so unpredictable. But when they come straight for you there's not much you can do."
