Down For An Hour. Make a cup of coffee or two, even lunch this sperm whale will be down for an hour!
Striped dolphin short stay. Reminiscing of these gorgeous striped dolphins that bow rode briefly the other day.
White colouration on the underside of the tail flukes of this humpback whale are unique, just like our fingerprints.

The tail flukes of this pygmy blue whale are seven metres across.
