Just ran across this short video that features some incredible underwater video of humpback whales in Tonga in the South Pacific. It was shot by an Australian photographer named Darren Jew. Darren works for Canon, which happens to be the brand of camera that I use. This guy is really living the life.
I have spent time in Tonga. The life there is laid back, so much different than the pace of life here. I have a friend, Richard Chesher, whom I first met in Tonga. He is a remarkable fellow; a marine biologist, who spends his time immersed in marine photography. His photos are amazing. Chesher lives in New Caledonia these days. We didn't see any whales while I was in Tonga, but we did hang out in one of Chesher's clam sanctuaries. That's an adventure I've already written about in an earlier blog about Chesher. Click on his name in the subject column on the right side of the page.
Anyway, this video of Darren Jew hanging out with humpbacks in Tonga is worth the admission. Check it out.
Here is a link to the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y2JfZC5X7M
