Swim with the whales

Hello everyone. It's been a tough time.

Apparently, I've got enteritis, so I'm living a life where neither alcohol nor food goes down pleasantly.

Please take care of your health, everyone.

The other day, I went on a whale swim to help out a diving shop I know.

There are various detailed rules, and we also understand things that divers would understand, like "sometimes you just don't see them."

That's what whale swimming is like. So, if you're not a diver, you can't participate.

You can't chase them, so you position yourself ahead of the whale's path and gently enter the water.

The process involves watching them as they pass by nearby.

An hour after leaving port...

We kept searching but couldn't find any, or if we did, they would dive down immediately.

Just when I thought it might be a defeat for my first time,

We found them. A mother and calf whale.

The mother is huge.

The baby whale gave us a great shot.

The weather was good, so it seemed to be in a good mood, thrashing around on the surface.

I guess this season is over. See you again next year, goodbye~~
