Off the northern coast of Sri Lanka, sperm whales can be spotted from February to April. Tour operators need to obtain a permit from the Sri Lankan government, with the majority of tours organized as a whale watching tours. But, there are a few that focus on actually swimming with these mystical creatures.

A golden retriever named Noodle got to live out many dogs' and humans' dreams by swimming with not one, but two humpback whales. An Instagram video filmed along Canada's Sunshine Coast showed the breathtaking moment Noodle came face-to-face with the majestic creatures in the British Columbia water.

We normally live near the coastlines but love our warm weather and often migrate to warmer waters in the summertime. I love my food and my favourite is tiny shrimp, plankton and small fish. Humpback Whales only eat during the summer and in the winter when we move to warmer waters, we stay with our mum's and live off our fat reserves. We love our mums and stay close to them for a whole year and am often seen swimming deep in the ocean with our Finns touching! It takes us a bit longer to grow up than our other whale friends and we do not stop growing until we are 10 years old.

We had a really magical moment the next day when nine whales had a heat run. A lot of male whales blow huge bubbles to show off. All you can do is hold your breath; I did a free-diving course to train for this. At one point, there were eight males showing off for one female. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to be as small as a mosquito, that was it for me. All of a sudden, whales are coming from the left and the right. We decided that I would just shoot while my swimming partner, Falanisi Tongia, pulled me in the direction I wanted to go. The whales were breaching and changing direction and slapping their tails. The tail that propels the whale has an immense power; I was wearing a full-body wet suit with the idea that if I was knocked unconscious, I would float.

At least 3 different species of barnacles are commonly found on both the flippers and the body of the humpback whale. It is also home for a species of whale lice, Cyamus boopis Humpback whales are active, acrobatic whales. They can throw themselves completely out of the water (breaching), and swim on their backs with both flippers in the air. They also engage in "tail lobbing" (raising their huge flukes out of the water and then slapping it on the surface) and "flipper slapping" (using their flippers to slap the water). It is possible that these behaviors are important in communication between humpbacks. Perhaps the most interesting behavior of humpback whales is their "singing." Scientists have discovered that humpback whales sing long, complex "songs". Whales in the North American Atlantic population sing the same song, and all the whales in the North American Pacific population sing the same song. However, the songs of each of these populations and of those in other areas of the world are uniquely different. A typical song lasts from 10-20 minutes, is repeated continuously for hours at a time, and changes gradually from year to year. Singing whales are males, and the songs may be a part of mating behavior.

I've been looking into astral projection lately, and about six days ago I had a dream after attempting to practice at it. In the dream I started out in open ocean during the day, swimming about 20 feet below the surface. To be descriptive, the waters were calm and the sunlight reaching into the water where I was swimming about was just absolutely breathtaking. For some context, it's been one of my dreams my entire life to swim in open ocean without fearing death. While I'm mortally terrified of the thought of swimming in open ocean all alone, in this dream I felt very at peace for a little bit doing so. After a while I started to get a little anxious being all lone in the water. I desperately wanted to find something to swim with me; A turtle, a whale, dolphin, anything. But out of all, I wanted to swim with a whale so badly. Anyway, I swam alone for a while longer until I looked behind me and saw the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. It was a massive blue whale, on its own route. I immediately swam towards it and somehow clung to it near the base of its tail. It was so mesmerizing watching it move. I've never felt so comfortable and safe in my entire life. To keep this short, the dream ended a little bit after with nothing else but us swimming.

Here's where the weird coincidence came: I woke up that morning and immediately wanted to do some more research on astral projection, stuff like things to do if and when you successfully project, of that general nature. I came across someone on a website that I don't remember that had a little list of random stuff to do; It was pretty mediocre, but I still read it haha. One of the first things ticked off on the list was "Swim with Whales", and I was thinking about how weird of a coincidence it was that I literally just had a dream swimming with whales. Could it have been that I projected in my sleep and didn't realize it, or was it just a simple coincidence?I've been told that when we sleep we unknowingly project, so naturally when this occurred I was really curious. Opinions will be appreciated.

Ashley got certified at Aquarius in 2015, quickly moving toward her dive master in 2016. A freediver turned SCUBA diver, Ashley has a love for all things ocean - having logged some 600 SCUBA dives over the past 6 years. You'll often find her either in-water leading tours or around the shop. A California native, these cold, nutrient rich waters are her favorite, leading her to many amazing dive experiences from swimming with humpback whales to harbor seals and mola molas. When she is not diving, you can often find Ashley at a local beach, running her and James' overly energetic chocolate lab, Maddie.

Deep waters with multi-colored fish, fragrance of gardenias and stallions running free are all just a glimpse into the wide array of French Polynesia animals and plants that make their home here. Whether you spend your time horseback riding in the Marquesas Islands or swimming with sharks, or just listening to the chorus of tropical birds from your hammock, The Islands of Tahiti are a paradise for many diverse species of plant and animal life!

Swimming with whales in Tahiti is an unforgettable experience. You can swim with whales in Moorea and Bora Bora too! The peak season for swimming with whales in Tahiti and other islands is mid-August to the end of October.

During the right time of year you can book tours to swim with humpbacks whales and dolphins, as well as other species who may wander by including pilot whales, rough toothed dolphins, spinner dolphins, and many species of shark and rays. Whale watching is a regulated activity in The Islands of Tahiti and the territory authorizes professionals who specialize in these types of excursions. Always book your boat tour with an accredited tour guide who follows certain rules such as maintaining a safe distance, letting the whales approach you and never chasing or blocking their path. Swimming with these majestic creatures is a great privilege for visitors who often leave feeling somewhat transformed by the experience.

Swimming with humpback whales in Moorea, Tahiti and Bora Bora is very common. Moorea is a particularly popular place to have small group tours for ocean adventures to see marine wildlife. When whale watching is not in season you can still do lots of activities on Moorea, including snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, as well as sharks and rays. You can also swim with humpback whales in the Austral Islands a little further south than Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Moorea. These islands are a little more remote but can offer an incredible whale watching experience.

I decided to go not that big and stayed aboard when the animals showed hunting behaviour with subsequent feeding. Professional filmmakers tend to be more courageous since this is probably the most spectacular footage you can get. However, being a scientist is also about knowing your personal limits and so I spent some time in the small dinghy that was dragged behind the boat with humpbacks to the left and orcas right behind me with the daylight slowly fading out. In the end, this is what is left. I never felt more connected to nature and the animals, being worth all the freezing and struggling to get the data I needed. Those are the rewarding moments of being a conservation biologist. I was struck with awe which helped me to develop a study of high quality and the hope that it may contribute to the preservation of this pristine area, still being far away from mass tourism.

It was late summer when Nan was swimming off the shore of Rarotonga, accompanied by a research vessel and being watched by her colleagues, who were tracking her course by eye and with a drone.\nUsing a waterproof camera, Nan was documenting her swim near a small pod of humpback whales.\nAs she was shooting, a large, male humpback whale - likely weighing over 23 tons and measuring at least 50 feet in length - began to swim toward her. \nThis, Nan knew, was not normal behavior.

Usually when swimming with whales, Nan would be the one approaching the animal in order to observe its behavior - not the other way around. But this time something was different. The huge animal was rushing at her, and as it got closer, she realized she wouldn't be able to get out of its path.\nStill in photography mode, she focused her lenses on the whale, documenting its head-on approach. She didn't know what it was up to, but she wasn't too concerned just yet.\nSoon, though, that would change. be457b7860
