Many people dream of having the chance to see a whale jump entirely out of the water and reveal its stunning body, but few people can actually experience it in real life. Well, the lucky man who captured the video below did, and fortunately, he decided to share the incredible footage with the world.
Craig Capehart and three other scuba divers were sailing along the coast of Pondoland, South Africa, hunting sardines when they came across a sight they will never forget.
It was a rare clear, crisp, cold winter day, but they weren’t expecting any action, which is why they were completely stunned when they saw a giant humpback whale breaching several times.
That alone should be enough to get anyone excited, but before disappearing back into the depths of the ocean, the whale gave them one last show as a souvenir.
The whale completely jumped out of the water, leaving both Craig and his co-workers gasping in a display of incredible power and grace. Recalling that astonishing moment, Craig said that he saw that day was “a very rare event indeed .”
Everyone needs to see this!
