Close up Humpback Whale Encounter - Snorkellers Approached by Humpback Whale Calf - Grand Turk, TCI

Sometimes, when you give wild animals space, they make the choice to approach you. This incredible encounter with the calf of Cat's Paw, a Humpback Whale, was unexpected and awe-inspiring. The whale noticed our group of snorkelers and came over for a closer look, knocking the GoPro with it's pectoral fin. Close encounters don't get much better than that!
