Great Barrier Reef
33 images Created 22 Oct 2013
The Great Barrier Reef holds some surprises and one of the most amazing are the sleek and beautiful Dwarf Minke whales. Actually they are about 20-25 ft (8-10 m) long and weigh in at several tons.
The Minkes visit the reef each year. Sometimes 20 or more loosely congregate in areas of deepish water. They are very curious and will repeatedly cruise past, sometimes closer and closer, until they might only be a few feet away. The important thing is to remain calm and don't make a lot of noise.
The Minkes are the focus of "genuine" research by scientists in Australia. Some of the mysteries they are studying are where they go after the reef and why the Minkes that visit the reef are all of a similar age. The Minke are a beautiful animal that needs our protection.
Swimming with the Minkes is an unforgettable peak life experience, I hope that my images will invoke in you some of the excitement that I feel about these fabulous whales.
