This has to be the most incredible and humbling moments I have ever experienced! Here’s the Story:

There we were, casually dropping in and swimming with this magnificent pod of False Killer Whales as they passed through, when BOOM
@maxstrong accidentally drops in right on top of our featured friend. (No contact was actually made) but both parties were certainly shocked! The majestic beast immediately stopped course and started checking out
@maxstrong . It was at this moment that I first got in the water with our friend. (Forgetting my camera of course 😅) captivated by the moment I excitedly started swimming with and checking out our new friend, hoping Max would snap the perfect memory of the amazing moment 📸 (he did)! Moments later another large False Orca comes out of the blue and rams into the first, as if to tell him that it was time to keep moving. We said goodbye to our friend and got back in the boat, thrilled with our shared encounter… but wait

Just a few minutes later, on our very next drop, we encounter the very same curious creature; but this time I had my camera! 🎥 I can’t even begin to explain to you the feeling I had as this animal stopped, looked me in my eye and started speaking to me. He was using his echolocation to scan me inside and out. He could tell that my heart was beating out of my chest. What an incredibly special moment we shared. I will never forget the mixture of emotions that I felt during this encounter.
