Humpback Whales

A lifetime’s ambition to be in the water with humpback whales was achieved when I visited Silver Bank, 80 miles off the coast of Dominican Republic. Nothing can prepare you for the sheer size of these magnificent creatures but what struck me most was how gentle and graceful they were. I observed several mother and calf interactions and the tender care exhibited by the mothers was human like. I first booked this trip 5 years ago and it was cancelled twice by Covid... but it was definitely worth the wait.

Underwater Photography 3 - Sharks, Sea Lions, Caverns & Whales

My third underwater talk will not be available until April ‘21 but I’ve released details now because I know camera clubs like to make bookings well in advance.

Although 90% of the talk is complete I’m delaying launch to allow me to include material from a trip I have planned to the Dominican Republic to photograph humpback whales (Feb ‘21). Covid may yet cause it to be postponed - but I’m really hopeful it will go ahead.
