Clever little fishies, swarming around the guys hoping the whales will fancy something with a little more meat

Great footage .

Stupid ****ers shouldnt have been that close.

"Unless operating under a federal research permit, approaching humpback whales within 100 yards (300 feet) or within 1,000 feet from aircraft is prohibited by federal regulations."

Ive never been within 1000 miles of a humpback whale but I know that if theres a circle of bubbles and a whole heap of fish thrashing in the middle, there's a whale coming up. Did he/they not notice?!

Severe fine on its way I hope.

One maybe they had a permit, I don't know that they didn't do you?

Two they didn't really have time to move out of the way now did they and I'm willing to bet that trying to swim through that bubbly water would be near impossible as it would be akin to swimming through air, studies have shown it possible to sink boats by pumping enough gas through the water like the whales do

I would rather swim through bubbles made by Wales than bubbles made by humans

 

[Oscellaris]

It certainly is a great video

I dont but if they did, they wont have for much longer I doubt.

Now you werent there now were you so you dont know that either. Lucky he was tied to a great big bit of rope so he could be pulled out of the way should the situation arise. Which it did, but instead of moving they seem to have carried on filming oblivious. Even with people on a boat watching the whole scene.

The article suggests that the fish came out of nowhere, they were suddenly surrounded. The guys didn't just jump into the school of them purposely. Though you often see in Ocean-Docu's, divers filming right beneath waves of these fish, with whales, dolphin, shark, Tuna and other huge monsters swooping in and out to feed.
