I have to say that would be an amazing thing to see first hand.

I've seen Orcas at the Breakwater, off Monastery,off Lobos and at three-two-five. Not that unusual

That is so cool!

Maybe not unusual, but still cool as heck. Whales migrate thru twice a year, and I still appreciate every encounter. Same goes for dolphin pods. I have yet to be up close and personal with an Orca.

Thanks for sharing the link

Your diving in the area long pre-dates mine and maybe they used to be more common, but in 4.5 years of diving in Monterey, that's the first report of Orcas I've seen or heard anywhere in the area. It's unusual enough that I'd expect to hear about it. There have been a couple of occasions where whales (not Orcas) have been seen at BW, and we see dolphins relatively often.

I have to say that was a couple of decades ago, but I'm glad to hear that they're back. Nice video too, makes me homesick.
