We were diving the west side of Tatoosh today and heard a whale sounding close by. It was so loud I could feel it vibrate through my body. It scared the hell out of me!

“The population of southern British Columbia and northern Washington State was locally destroyed by commercial whaling about 20 years ago,"

"Researchers believe there are more than 18,000 humpbacks now in the North Pacific, up from about 1,500 when whale hunting was banned in 1966."


Somebody needs to refresh their math skills... :rawlings:
