  • Majestic and really beautiful. The whales are nice too.

  • Who the hell could dislike this???? An asshole using the wi-fi on a whaling ship??? Bloody Bastards!

  • she looks fine ;O

  • how deep is the water by the way?!

  • isn't she afraid of the sharks?!

  • nindot

  • if there is a perfect like im gonna click it....oh my....that was so wonderful, i had goosebumps while watching this video. the woman is like a mermaid for me, with a golden hair, seems like im watching a magical movie when i was a kid.

  • I envy her so much. One day I will do the same thing

  • omg so deep under her o.o

  • why is there a mermaid in this video?

  • She is very fish like!!!

  • that chick has a bangin body, damn son

  • damn mommy got a fat ass

  • why should she be scared, shes huge

  • My ultimate life goal is to free dive with a humpback whale.

    They're so beautiful and majestic.

    She's really lucky!

  • :46 cant help to think of a dinosaur....i wish i could swim like her!!!!!!!

  • Guess, I would give really a lot for such a dive!!!!!

    Tanya is definitely a lucky fellow!!!

    Such a beauty - can´s stop watching this clip...

  • who would want to harpoon that? :( so beautiful and unfortunately killed everyday. 

  • like her hair!!!:D

  • But I will say she has great form and looks great swimming that way, looks like shes actually a part of the environment, not SCUBA that looks so manmade

  • Its amazing and beautiful, but freediving rather than SCUBA wouldnt be my first choice, because if I was freediving I'd have to focus on the dive more than the whales around me, She only gets a few seconds to stop and enjoy the whales before she has to go back up, unlike the cameraperson, who I assume is SCUBA diving

  • wow thats amazing

  • yes KLN003 but there are also good dive stories on the net too. type dive stories into google. My favorite is the myscubastory site, as it has real stories n videos n photos too. The myscubastory site should come up if you type "dive stories" in google . Enjoy

  • That girl is hot

  • Wonder if the whale would let you ride it or give it like a high five on its fin. That diver did something very few will ever get a chance to do. Splendid video.

  • Wow

  • Wow, could you imagine that? Being so close to something so large and magnificent? Wow, the adrenaline you would feel.

  • but why would you do that seaquest224??! there are other site with good dive sotries o0- eg type myscubastory into google and click on the first result - its a dive story forum site - good luck !

  • wow that gave me chills, seems like a totally amazing experience, i would love to do it but itd be totally scary right lol

  • She's a mermaid too! Want that flipper of hers.

  • OH EM GEEEE THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!! THIS IS THE TYPE OF STUFF I WANT TO DO. ♥

  • Being tall such as 6ft is an advantage in swimming ?

  • bathi mple

  • wow so nice! and lucky diver

  • I love whales when I was younger I used to be so afraid of them. JUST as long as I'm not in a boat too close I am fine. Such beauty from this mother & her baby. I hope that they will always live and breathe upon this earth forever? Only GOD knows for sure if they will remain here for all time. GOD BLESS THE WORLD!

  • I saw a documentary where the sea was stained red by the whales blood when they cut it up and threw it back into the water. It really said something about human kind :(

  • Fantastic.... Seen it so many times and each time i enjoy it again.

    Does anyone knows whats the background music ? will appreciate your help.

  • i just love the sound singing of a whale japanese or who ever shouldent kill whales for what let them live forever

  • That is so cool. Also, I love the mermaid suit - is that for fun? Or is it actually scientific?

    If you look at her swimming behind the whale, they don't look that different, isn't it kind of funny how we function the same sort of way in the water?

  • @TheFacelessLady That suit she is wearing is a open cell wetsuit. They are the best for freediving. The fin she has on is a monofin and is ideal for diving to great depth on a breath

  • f*ck the japans killing this amazing animals i hate them kill the whaler

  • back in the 70s japanese sailors killd lots of whaels and late bob hunter was on the seen saying to them do not kill the whales

  • this is amazing, how did you get to swim with them? I would like to do it

  • they say the sea is cold, but the sea contains the hottest blood of all

  • this whale, was on the plate of 300 japs, with a side of rice, lol

  • This is beautiful!! absolutely amazing I wish we could save all the whales, they bring so much happiness to us :))

  • AWESOME! :)

    

  • COOL!

  • does any body know how u can get started in savin the humpback whales and also how 2 get in involved with stuff like this

  • omg I want those fins she's wearing.... Oh... and I guess the whales are cool too... lol :P

  • they don't have that music underwater you know...

  • I am writhing with jealousy.

  • this lady is amazing too....

  • @fbastaki fuck off and take yer political shite elsewhere, its a video about whales you complete cretin.

    sick of you cunts, go and join a fucking government.

  • mate no denying the issues there but save it for something else please

  • Wow, awesome

  • wow.. the whale is so sweet.

  • Its sadness when we see humans hurting and killing these amazing animals .

  • Comment removed

  • diving like this is my dream!!! it would be just amazing

  • When I'm swimming I don't want to get close to anything over 30 centimeters... never mind a whale !!!

  • I agree with ebrown890. It's like going into

    someone's house without permission.

    We all have our territory, designated by a superior intelligence and we need to acknowledge that.

  • yeah, it looks like a montage at times... maybe it's because the video effect technology is so evolved nowadays that we can't tell the difference.

  • i aint gonna hate.. that was pretty amazing but i still think it's pretty dangerous to be swimming with a whale and her calf.. haven't yall ever seen that one lady get attacked by a whale and pulled down hella deep to where she almost drown? i have, on worlds most amazing videos...

  • link me this vid :)

  • Beautiful..

  • A rare beauty!

  • What Is There Job Title? I Would Love To Go On To Uni And Study All Types Of Whales, And Also Free Diving

  • It's the most beautiful close encounter human/whales I'd ever saw...touch me deep! She is amazing!

  • Comment removed

  • @Celticson50 yes you are right!

  • @Celticson50 so i have heard but judging from your spelling i would say you did not attend either, as beautiful has an A in it, so before you make a comment, check to see if you have screwed it up... you wont look so silly that way

  • @mrwatchers I did not check. Remark removed. Thanks for letting me know I too screwed up.

  • fantastic

  • Y cant any1 dive with a BLUE WHALE???

  • out of all the whale species the blue whale is probably the least known about, thats y they came out with that show Kingdom of the blue whale, i think its cause where blue whales are located

  • Yea, but pple HAVE located blue whales, filmed them at close range etc.

    But WHY doesnt anyone actually dive in and swim with them, touch them or ride on their backs?? As if they'll notice

    Is it some kind of taboo to touch whales, or dive with them?

  • im actually not sure but that is very interesting

    personally i think its rude to go into a whales territory and think we have the right to invade its personal space by riding them or touching them : )

    it could even have to do with the blue whales size and powerful, it might be a dangerous, this is just my guess

  • I totally agree with u - the video is beautiful - but this sends a message to others - like it's ok to "swim with the dolphins" ... there needs to be a boundary ... or anyone will go out and jump in and intrude on whales and dolphins environment. TEACH RESPECT FOR ALL LIVING THINGS - it's not about fulfilling your dreams ...

  • well, the whale are territorial especially if they have a calf and the blue whale is endangered so that means theres not many left so it is very rare

  • amazing!!

  • Whales are amazing

  • Wow, it's the most beautiful video about whales. She is amazing with the free diving. And my brother practice free diving too, i know about that.

  • Why would anyone want to kill such beautiful amazing creature? observe and preserve the animal would be better reseach then killing it! fantastic footage. thank you

  • cock

  • Wow! That's great!

  • Awesome shots, and I'm sure it was truly kick ass to swim THAT close to humpbacks. Did she really swim without an air tank on?

  • What was water temperature?

    and what was aprox location?

  • My sister did that when she had an internship with a dolphin institute. I just could hold my breath as long as that lady! Wow!

  • And the Japanese want to kill these creatures, for 'research'...

  • Shes a mermaid! I didn't see her use any oxygen tanks.

  • yeh shes a world record holder for holding her breath. the full series is great to watch. she gets flirted with by a whale in another one too. very lucky :D

  • is that series here on youtube? i wouldn't mind seeing that one of the whale flirting with her:)

  • i don't think it is. i haven't seen it on here anyway. it was on the BBC a while ago.. haven't seen it repeated yet, but they usually do repeat stuff.. keep an eye out.

  • Beautiful, just beautiful. I can only imagine how this must have felt for Tanya. Thanks for letting us join them! I, too, wish it had been better quality for the full-screen version, though. Makes it easier to immerse yourself in the ocean :-)

  • There isn;t anything to say about that. What a lucky human

  • Wonderful! Tks!

    Next time...maybe a H.D. version, always if possible. Scenes like these deserve high definition option.

  • Absolutely amazing footage. The BBC has the greatest shows. That was a unique experience. Tanya is really lucky to have been able to do that.

  • Absolutely amazing! What I wouldn't give to do what she has done! I am glad the whale was not upset and was even welcome to a nonintrusive human swimming with them. Amazing.

  • awesome. she looks so small compared to them

  • does anyone know the song to this clip? btw the clip is beautiful =)

  • I'd quite like to know too :)
