Whale Encounters at the Silver Banks Just returned from a week long whale encounter at the Silver Banks aboard the T & C Aggressor II. The ultimate adventure for the serious diver and lover of the oceans. Interacting with humpback whales provides a lifetime set of memories and an insight and appreciation into their world. We went out twice a day, spending 1-2 hours tracking a whale mother and calf awaiting the opportunity to get into the water and snorkel with them. Some encounters listed a few minutes, others 30 minutes. Not for the beginner as most days were spent in choppy seas riding in a skiff. captain Piers and his crew are extremely knowledgeable and ensure that all encounters are conducted with the safety and welfare of the whales foremost. |
