Amazing grace :)
How close do whales let divers approach? Can you hear the sounds?
Was it scary?
(I remember my teenage experience of open-water swimming when suddenly dolphins appeared. I knew they were very intelligent and careful animals and never ate or harmed people.. yet it took me seconds to cover the distance back to the boat and climb it in some very strange, but fast way :)

in this encounter I was able to touch 12-m long whale with my hand - so it was quite close. As for sounds - you can hear them well, moreover, sperm whales scan your body with sonar, which feels like exposure to powerful sub-woofer ^_^

Крутецкий сперм. Хорошо, что не Тозоид =)
