aww those baby orcas were so curious of the divers. And the adults seemed to keep their distance, but allowed the babies to continue to play. I love this <3

Literally the only time you can swim in the open ocean and be 10000% you wont be eaten or attacked by a shark because any shark remotely close to you would be going at absolutely full speed in the opposite direction.

Imagine swimming with the apex predator of the ocean, what an honour

[martinking]

Orcas: *kills everything on sight*
Orcas when they see human: Hi bro, how are you ? :)

I am so JEALOUS of these lucky people swimming with my favorite mammal in the entire ocean, I wish I could.

I feel like the reasons whales / dolphins don't attack humans is that they understand we are smart as well and they have learned/ or heard stories of what humans have done in retaliation or have been able to do

I get anxiety when the camera appears to look down. Knowing it’s an endless depth below me full of things that could undoubtedly rip me apart.

This was literally breath taking. Hands down best thing to come across my timeline in a while! 😭😍

[harrypatt]

Such an amazing animal. Need to be protected at all cost

That young orca is curious one - look how many scars does it already have! And of course came so close to the other adventurous being. Beautiful memories for both.

[daniellanier]

If a great white shark had been near the divers, those orcas would have killed it on sight. There has been stories of orcas protecting people from sharks.

Just like Dolphins, Orcas are playful and gentle to Humans in the wild.

Wild orcas have never hurt humans in all of recorded history, despite being apex predators.

Orca: "Too much fur, not enough fat. Not a tasty snack, but still fun to watch."

This was a fantastic video. Good job guys, all off you. I don’t know if you meant to take this but if you were just a group of friends enjoying a day on the ocean that’d make this even more amazing and I bet you’ll never forget that.

Wild orca somehow never attack human. I saw a video clip that they swam pass 2 little boys. They are extremely intellgent. Their thinking of avoid getting human hostile toward them. Leave human alone so they wont hurt us =)). They understand that.

[invisiblecollege]

Its very interesting Orca's don't attack humans. They must know not to if you think about it, If they collectively know we are dangerous. That implies a collective intelligence which is either passed through communication / DNA or both

[authenticapparel]

These people are nuts. I love Orca. And I love Bears too but it doesn’t mean I’m going to go into their cave and have a photo shoot with them.

Orca: "Look guys, the aliens came to visit"

[GABRIELLADARLING]

Man that is I must say pretty damn amazing! Definitely fascinating but terrifying at the same time!
