My first jump into the water I was adjusting my vest and weights and sloshing around a bit. When done I looked up to see what looked like a missle shooting towards me. A humpback calf was interested in me and was coming straight at me. When it was within inches it turned to the side, tucked in its fins so not to hurt me, and coasted by me with a baseball sized eye looking into my eyes as it passed. Amazed I stay still in the water watching the new born swim away when the cow swam underneath me, maybe 40 feet long and following the calf closely. Then the two banked back my direction and came back for a second pass. One of the greatest experiences of my life and that was my first time in the water!
