Orca Whale photograph |
After diving the Great Barrier Reef,Êone of the members of our group traveled on to Agnes LodgeÊon MundaÊwhere he had a very unusual experience. During the first week of August, while taking a surface interval on the beach between dives, he noticed a pod of dolphins swimming through the lagoon, immediately followed by some Orca whales. The divemaster asked if anyone wanted to snorkel with Orcas. The group responded with a resounding Yes!, so they all loaded up and motored over to where three large Orcas were frolicking in the water. My buddy got in the water and the Orcas came within arm's-length of him. He took pictures and some of them show only large areas of black, because he couldn't get far enough away to get a better picture! Everyone was impressed with the size of these three Orcas, when all of a sudden an even larger Orca arrived on the scene. My buddy watched this Orca grab a 300-pound, six-foot-long dolphin in its mouth and head for the bottom.

Our group is trying to duplicate the same conditions this summer in the hope that we can all experience this marvelous event.
