The Whale Waltz

I've spent the last ten days operating the Witsand area off Cape Infanta looking for whale activity.

The whale inevitably ends up finding us, as we can't go closer than 300 meters under power. So if the animal chooses to come and check us out then the game is on! Our best day was when I'd dropped Barry onto a shallow reef off Cape Infanta, and a lone female sidled up to him and wouldn't leave him alone! I couldn't go in and fetch him because of the 300m rule, so he was forced to spend 20 minutes under the watchful eye of an amorous whale!
