We were only 15 feet away from a two month old humpback showing off its new breaching skills between nursing trips with a very chilled out Mom. Its impossible to explain the once in a lifetime sights that you can […]

One of the highlights was snorkelling with a mother humpback whale and her calf! I really believe this was a once in a lifetime experience.

  Today is our last day on the boat, it is a sad day.  This was our first live aboard dive trip and we were overwhelmed by the experience!  From the captain to the deck hands, the crew was awesome; I can’t say enough good things about them!  The whole crew treated us as if […]
