「Miracle」

Listen! We swam with Whale!!!!!

「What is that?! I saw something big shape!」 Suddenly Gilles shouted on the way to diving point. Whale?! We stopped in the middle of the sea and waited few minutes.

「Pssssst!」 Woooow! Whale came up next to our boat! It's just 5-7m away. Unbelievable!!! We lost any words completely. I had goosebumps... Nobody has ever seen her such a short distance. And another whale came up behind us. It's dream.....

「Hey, guys! Put on mask and fins! Why don't you try to swim?! Now is good timing! 」Gilles shouted. 「Yeees, Boss! We want to try!」 While we were hurrying up preparation, Gilles tried to get the point where whales come up next. ...waited few minutes...

「Pssssst!」 Whale came up behind us! 「GO, NOW!!!」 We jumped into the sea. While we were swimming, whales came up near us! But couldn't find them in underwater, still a bit far. We swam and swam. And then suddenly whale appeared just under us! I couldn't believe what's happening in front of me. How beautiful she looks... just fantastic...

I don't know how long we could swim with whale....maybe only few seconds or one minute?! Any way, it was wonderful moment. She was just under me, around 5-10m in depth?! The whale we saw is sperm whale which is around 15m? We didn't think about it, just lost admiration of whale. Her movement was gentle, smooth and beautiful. How can I explain?!

Everybody was so exciting and happy after the show. We never forget this experience, we cannot!

I wish to see her again...someday...
