Whether you are snorkeling with humpback whales in the Dominican Republic or venturing into the High Arctic in search of narwhals these types of encounters leave us awe-struck. Sharing the water with these incredible animals is a humbling experience and keeps us divers coming back again and again.

Sometimes it pays off to take an extra long safety stop. All of the other scuba divers had ascended to the boat when this female humpback came through. I was fortunate enough to have several minutes with her before she ventured back into the blue.
