In the warm protected waters of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, two thirds of the North Pacific humpback whale population come to compete and mate. In this short film, Cousteau divers use rebreathers to quietly film a pod of humpback whales. Their intimate experience is featured in "America's Underwater Treasures," a two-hour program and part of the series, Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Adventures shown on PBS. The crew anticipated their enormous size, but not the grace of their underwater ballet. Jean-Michel Cousteau Ocean Adventures is a co-production between Ocean Futures Society and KQED

  • Can you please tell me where did you get the background score for this video? The music was so calming and subtle that I just was mesmerized by the fact that nature is full of so many amazing mysteries that we're still unaware of. Thank you so much for these videos, please keep up the great work!

  • @alal22000 Thanks for your comment and glad you liked the music.

    The song is titled, "Alone" by Dean Grinsfelder, composer for the TV series, Jean-Michel Cousteau Ocean Adventures.

  • This film is such beauty along with the music. How empty our oceans would be without the Great Humpback. I feel the same about our forest around the globe. It is our moral obligation and duty to protect Nature and it's creators the same way we protect our families from all harm. There is no difference.

    Does somebody know the name of this song? Thank you. <3 AC

  • The world is enjoying these fantastic creatures...

    Thank you Jean Michel Cousteau (and team)

  • What a magnificent video!

  • Why ruin the video with music?

  • The music, the visual. It makes me cry. But I cry for two reasons. The first is the beauty that I see. But second the unbearable sadness I feel when I think of how cruel humans can be to these loving and amazing creatures that God {The Light, The Higher Power} put here for us to enjoy so we wouldn't be lonely. xoxo M

  • It's indescribably beautiful.

  • سبحان الله.

  • Great video!
