Diving with Minke whales

2007-07-03, Great Barrier Reef, Australia

For those that I have not talked to, after my last semester ended I went on another live-aboard dive charter with the JCU dive club. Five out of the six days we had Minke whales around our boat. Their presence gave me indescribable feelings. They where inquisitive and sensitive to our every move. It was incredible how they could be aware of everyone at all times. The rest of the diving was amazing, with many sharks and a few bull rays. It looks as most of the reefs we went to are still in great condition.
