this capture shows a Pair of Humpbacks, The whale on the right has "Blown its Stack" (exhaling from its Blowhole . The whale on the left is preparing for "Deep Dive" . The gull is looking for small fish & I am very excited to see this!
This Adventure into the GBR was filled with Amazing encounters with Humpback Whales. At times we were very close & could even smell the expelled Blow as it drifted towards our location!

The classic raised fluke and blow hole exhaled air are so instantly recognisable! This shows you don't need much of the bodies in view to know what is lurking beneath.
