Humpback mother and calf

Dr Ingrid Visser took these shots of a mother and calf humpback whale off the Tutukaka Coast towards the Poor Knights Islands. If you do see whales, dolphins or orca, please call 0800 SEE ORCA and let Ingrid know.

On this shot you can see the cookie cutter shark marks on the calf.

Just a quick note to say thanks again for the GREAT day of diving off Poor Knights! I can see why that area was so highly rated by Jacque. It was so great to get back in the water after 4 years. Your professional service and attention to details were the best I have seen since I have been diving. The background on the islands and the plant and animal life was also a nice twist.

Thanks especially to Hemi for running over the basic dive drills and making me feel safe and confident back in the water.

If I ever make it back to NZ, I will definitely come out again. I will also let any diving buddies heading that way to look you guys up.
