Humpback whales are among the largest marine animals that have ever existed and must be treated with extra respect. Often, the best interactions will be from a boat, dangling your camera over the gunwale if they swim in close enough.

Caption: 
Offshore dolphins portray their personalities in unique ways. Rough-toothed dolphins have a certain prehistoric look and don’t often encounter freedivers. They can become quite curious, using their extra-flexible neck to investigate newcomers to their environment. They are also one of the main enemies of tuna fishermen, capable of filleting a caught fish while it is still on the hook.
