When you decide to not let the rain stopping you, magic happens !
First tour of the year for @trevor.orth and @matthmoz and we've been spoiled with an incredible swim with rough toothed dolphins hunting baitfish around a stick a few kilometers offshore. Crazy how these guys can move perfectly together to catch their preys.

When was the last time you stared at something in awe and forgot about everything else in this world? Moments that bend time, making you wish they could last forever.

The trust this mum had in us, simply lying there and watching us as we shared the water with her and her calf, will be a memory etched in my mind for a very long time. by @mooreaoceanadventures

Pilot Whale Madness !

Still, at the surface. Unhurried. They let us come closer than I ever imagined.
The gentlest encounter I’ve ever shared with these marvelous beings.

Every day, in the water, they offer us their trust. A gift to honor with deep gratitude.

Every encounter with ocean life is more than a breathtaking moment. It’s a legacy, a quiet lesson in kindness from a wild world that still chooses gentleness toward us, despite all we’ve been taking from them.

Maybe one day, we’ll learn to trust them back. And offer them the same kindness.

Isn't something extraordinary when you watch a calm ocean turn into turmoil as, for a brief second, a giant rises above the surface by @mooreaoceanadventures

Another beautiful day in French Polynesia 🇵🇫

A mum, calf and escort in an incredibly calm sea. I’m always grateful for what the ocean decides to share with me. 🐋🌊

Every day on the ocean is different! This is the first time we’ve been able to see a breach from beginning to end, starting below water. And all thanks to our guides @nina_proffit and Troy and @mooreaoceanadventures for being patient and keeping everyone safe and respectful of ALL of the life around us. Things can get hectic so it’s important to be with the A Team.🐋

Surreal encounter with the pygmy killer whales today. Crystal clear waters, perfect conditions and great team driven by passion for marine wildlife and very curious animals. This species is usually so rare to meet.

Perfect captain @vinny_lab
Perfect guests @solidtoddo and @leah.warshawski

Onboard with @mooreaoceanadventures

Interspecies interactions are among our favorite encounters. As @cainedelacy says, the ocean never seems so huge that when you are surrounded by so many animals. The dolphins give then an accurate perspective of the humpback's size.

Final day of @just_the_wild expeditions with @mooreaoceanadventures , we cannot wait to have you onboard again.

Double Head Lunge !

A head lunge is a powerful surface behavior where a whale pushes its head and upper body completely or partially out of the water before crashing back. You will often see this behavior in active groups of humpback whales when males compete for position or fight to get close to a female.The forceful movement acts as a visual signal of strength to warn off rival males and show dominance.

You never know what’s coming in the wild.

10 minutes of peaceful male mahi-mahi footage… and then this happened💥

Just a cracked rib and a broken GoPro mount.

Seeing its own reflection in the dome was probably what triggered the attack.

We’ll never know for sure, thanks to @koko_ocean_child and it’s falcon eyes for spotting the fish and making this encounter possible @matthmoz for guiding @mooreaoceanadventures for the real adventure 🤯 by @mooreaoceanadventures
