Two Humpbacks Cruise Past

Well folks over the weekend we have enjoyed the company of divers from "The Dive Shed" Busselton. Two dives on the dive wreck "HMAS Perth" on Saturday and then "The Cables" and the "Cheynes II" today.
 The weather was perfect and as we headed out to the islands this morning several km from Princess Royal Harbour channel I spotted 1 Humpback whales cruise past several hundred metres away. We slowed to give the divers a quick look but this whale did not wish to be seen again. The guys loved the dive at "The Cables" And we headed over to the Cheynes II for our surface inter-vile. As the last of the divers are entering the water for there dive on the wreck of an old whale-chaser "Cheynes II" a call from several non divers enjoying the day on the fly bridge, alerts us that 2 humpbacks are cruising from with in "King George Sound" towards "Bald Head" They are about 1000m to our stern and just cruising, we watch them, and one of the divers jokes that she is worried about the whales coming close. Oh she should be so lucky. Id love to dive with a humpback whale as it cruises past.

Something to add to my bucket list, "head to Tonga and dive with Humpbacks" So the whales are arriving now we need some whale watchers.
