We had a surreal experience the other day as we listened to a singing humpback whale! We dropped the hydrophone near a pod of Risso’s dolphins and through their clicks (which you can hear) picked up a singing whale! You can hear his grumbles, moans, and high pitch calls as it echoes across the deep. While singing whales are common in the tropics (breeding grounds), it’s fairly rare to hear it in the feeding grounds. There’s still loads of active humpbacks and other animals in the bay. Weather looks great! Filmed by: Chase Dekker www.sanctuarycruises.com
It’s been incredible out there over the last couple of weeks. Kind of hit or miss on the lunge-feeding and other behaviors. But when they put a show it’s quite the spectacle to behold.
