Right Whale Video

Have I ever told you how much we love diving in Palm Beach? We saw Hippy John in shallow water and wondered how many cobia they had in the boat. Called him on the radio and he said they had a Right Whale come up to them while diving. We spotted a total of 3 whales and managed to get some footage of one that swam by. Thanks for the hook up John. Very awesome sight to say the least. Oh yeah... we also put some fish in the boat.

Re: Right Whale Video

The whale footage is great John!

Those cobes seem to be everywhere these days.

Re: Right Whale Video

That is really cool. I heard about these whales all weekend, anyone know the story, why are they here, where do they come from, etc?

They migrate the Florida coast every year to breed....Up here in Jax if caught near one with your boat it is a huge fine....
