More Minke Whales sighted

Poseidon swims with the Minke!

Last Saturday (June 12th) was a great day to be out in the Agincourt Reefs, with multiple sightings of Minke Whales on board POSEIDON. 

 

The first encounter was with a solitary whale while at the dive site on Light Reef, and most of the passengers were able to enjoy an in-water experience with the curious animal while it circled the snorkellers close up, enabling Poseidon's photographer to obtain several great shots including the image we've set opposite.

When Poseidon reluctantly left the whale and moved on to the next site, passengers and crew were rewarded by having three more whales circle the boat during lunch, resulting in great top-side photo opportunities.

Poseidon is one of only 3 day boats permitted to conduct in-water snorkelling with Dwarf Minke Whales, and now that they have "arrived" at the Agincourt Reefs, many more encounters can be expected.

Have your say !
