On Reunion Island, many people want to see the striking spectacle of whales swimming in the waters of the Indian Ocean.
Seeing a whale swim is an incredible spectacle and many divers would like to be able to witness it. The instructor distills his precious advice to divers who may have the chance to discover these giants of the seas. With the breathtaking panorama of the island behind them and the view ahead to observe the slightest sign of the presence of a whale fin, the swimmers are ready. The approach is quite slow and soft so as not to frighten the animals.
A guide stays in the boat to direct the divers. Then, like in a movie, the whale approaches, the divers too and the magic happens at the sight of the marine mammal. The animal does not take fright and swimmers can approach extremely close. “It was incredible, we first saw the little calf approaching us and then the mother coming from below. It really is an unforgettable experience.”marvels Véronique Techwhale hunter. All swimmers are won over by their diving and the sight of the animal.
