so spooky. I cant imagine that feeling of looking down and seeing nothing, watching the largest creature to ever live on earth disappear into the darkness.

[jacobcarter]

The vastness of the ocean and the sound of being underwater is more terrifying then the whale.

[SirKolass]

Holy hell, now this is scary, I know they're friendly but the size is terrifying, all that darkness makes it even scarier, it's amazing how something so huge can disappear so quickly

[michaelcobb]

i love how they just disappear into the deep blue.

[mcbigdick]

I didn't see shit. THen i saw it's 360°

[RexfromIslaNublar]

0:53 I don’t care what anyone says, it sounds peaceful hearing the sound of a whale underwater. I reckon that would’ve been immaculate to see and hear

[slinkerdeer]

I'm glad I aint the only one who is a bit uneasy watching this, my heart rate goes up looking around and seeing the endless ocean surrounding the diver. Thallasaphobia is probably one of the most rational fears to exist, despite it's beauty the environment is utterly inhospitable to us and yet it covers 71% of our planet.

[GinoNL]

Wow, it looked like it was going into another dimension. Also; anyone laying in bed and struggling in all kinds of positions to look around? Well, when replaying it I discovered you can touch the screen to look around😂

360 is nice and cool bit needs more improvement.

[Pushh]

Anyone else spinning in circles tryna find the whale ?
Edit : this simple comment has almost 100x more likes than any of my videos lmao

I didn't realize how cool this was!!!

[megan_nester]

This excites me so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love blue

[bryantfarmandforest]

Its about time GoPro put up a 360 video

[Royal_Flush_TV]

This is super cool, for those who can’t see anything, you’re supposed to hold the phone up to your face like VR glasses and look around. Look at what the guy is going towards, this is an interactive video.

THAT WAS AMAZING. Time to search for some more underwater vr scuba diving videos.

[SkyfaII]

I would rather watch the normal video maybe in 10 years the quality is better!

[Sophiejanefeeney]

Turn your volume up to full, and listen carefully when the video gets to 39seconds and you'll hear the amazing Blue Whale noise!

[jacolienrebel]

I absolutely love this effect ! It's gorgeous !

[BennieMan]

Extremely Grateful I'm able to experience this from my couch

[Fish-pilv]

The fact you hear its noises under water is terrifying and cool at the same time
