Diving with these magnificent creatures is possibly the highlight of all our lives!
In far north Great Barrier Reef you will find, the famous Ribbon Reefs, and on those reefs a Bommie called Lighthouse…
Nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary for the Great Barrier Reef, except for the fact that once a year for 6-8 weeks Dwarf Minke Whales 🐋
Until recently they were thought to be a subspecies of minke whales, but now DNA 🧬 testing has shown us that they are in fact a completely individual species all their own.
Very little is known about these otherwise solitary whales, who ordinarily roam the oceans as far south as Antarctica. And since no one’s ever witnessed them mating or giving birth, it remains a mystery as to why they come to this very spot.
One thing that we known is this.They LOVE humans and are incredibly smart, so much so that they crave our attention. So when we arrived to this site, after a full day of playing with them, while making dinner with no one in the water, the Dwarf Minkes showed up to the boat and started splashing to get our attention, until we got in the water!
Think about that for just a moment. An animal so smart that it sees a boat and knows humans are on board. And then splashes around to get our attention.
Best day EVER!
