Hi everyone,

New subscriber on this board but longtime diver.

Yesterday we were diving off Catalina Island, California. Conditions were fair but the return to Los Angeles was AWESOME.

We came across six or seven gray whales. Here's a quick video I took, check out and tell me what you think!

Great stuff.

A few years ago I was diving Church Rock on the back side of Catalina in pretty murky conditions. I sensed something big in the water and crawled into a crevice to continue filming since we were ion known great white territory. When I finally surfaced, everyone on the boat yelled "Did you get video of it?" I said "No, you saw the great white?" They laughed and said there had been a baby gray whale above me (in about 35 ft of water) for about 20 minutes. I never saw it.

Sounds like an episode of Sea Hunt. Just needs a little tweek:

… My job: Underwater research for Marine Land of the Pacific. A few years ago I was diving Church Rock on the back side of Catalina in pretty murky conditions. I sensed something big in the water and crawled into a crevice to continue filming since we were in known great white territory. I was running low on air but I always have my knife with me. I didn’t know it at the time, but there had been a baby gray whale above me (in about 35 ft of water) for about 20 minutes. I never saw it. When I finally surfaced, everyone on the boat yelled "Did you get video of it?" I said "No, you saw the great white?" They laughed…
