    I know whales are harmless but being next to any animal that size would freak me the f*** out :shock:

    Very true, i was lucky enough to get in the water with a whale shark in Eygpt - massive bloody thing that only feeds on plankton yet i still felt some element of apprehension in the 1st few mins, soon went away though, a magnificent creature 8)

    Great photo. I saw a frew from the side of a boat and it was pretty special. Seeing one in that environment would be spectacular. Although I would have to change my underpants afterwards.

    An amazing photo, wonder if the whale was thinking about having a nibble or slam diving him :D

    Impressive - just imagine how much more imposing / scary a big Blue Whale would be?
