This month’s feature:
Whales passing over shallow reef in clear water is rare and fleeting, but to have this kind of interaction between a patient mother and her playful calf over the shallow reef was not something I could have asked for. The sun was obscured by clouds and would only pop out for a few minutes at a time. Sometimes everything lines up just right. It’s moments like this that make long days on a boat worth it.
Karim was published in National Geographic magazine for his humpback whale photography. He now leads his own trips so that others can swim with whales.
If you are interested in swimming with or photographing humpback whales, Karim guides people in small trips between August and October every year in Tonga. Visit www.dancewithwhales.com to find out more
