Can you imagine you're diving deep, hanging on a deco line, and then you turn around suddenly....
How would you like this to happen to you?

Seeing that sperm whale made my jaw drop - WOW!
FreeDiver,
Is that the bottom of the line used for the "no limit" deal? It looks like the same type of hardware used on the sled from the earlier video. How far down to the normally end the line?

Perhaps I'd finally be able to pee in my wetsuit.

Humanphibian..
Thats part of an oil platforms drilling rig... they are using a robot to inspect it... top right shows depth in meters.. almost 3000
Ok.. sorry.. http://www.apnea-amsterdam.com/forum...pic,128.0.html
this verison of it shows the depth in meters
=)
Ok.. so I just went back and looked.. these are two seperate incidences.. Very very interesting...
*goes off and scratches head*
Think whales like oil drilling rigs?
Would love to see this up close and personal
You ask if one would like to see such a sight.... OH YES! I've seen a Gray whale from 10 feet away UW, and a few sharks (7 to 12 feet in length) as close as 2 feet from me. It is a great rush. I have even been in the water with orcas, but none came within my view while underwater (that doesn't mean they didn't see me).
You can't ask for much more in the way of gifts from the sea.
Thanks for the post.

Did a dive a couple months ago where we could hear a whale, but viz was only about 10' @ 100fsw. When we surfaced the boat crew said the whale had been circling us the entire dive. I've had extremely close encounters with the Atlantic spotted dolphins off Bimini, and we regularly see seals underwater around here (4' to 6') in length, but I've yet to see a whale underwater . . .
As awesome as it would be wouldnt you just sh*t yourself. Everythings all peaceful the out of the dark this massive thing springs. Id be taking many deep breaths. I had a southern right or humpback( i dunno a fish is a fish) with calf and another mature go under me at about 20 metres on a wreck off Sydney once and it was a pretty amazing sight. And sound.
