I didnt have a great grasp of how fast they would be going once they started feeding either. The first feeding behavior I saw happened In the first three seconds of this clip. You can see how close I came to being dental floss for one of them. Up till then they were just swimming placidly, relatively slowly and giving me a wide berth. They seem blind in their front when they open fully so accidents can happen easily.
At 1:57, was that an actual Bryde’s whale call? I’m familiar with that sound when scientists are figuring out the sounds of the Mariana Trench and some scientists claimed it was from a minke whale. But it seems like it comes from a Bryde’s. ~ Ryan S. (ua-cam.com/video/HNkzxrsfAhA/v-deo.html)
These whales were 700 miles West of the Marianas trench but they do sound similar to your reference. They were filmed with 20,000 feet of water below us.
I know often times at baitballs there is normally a whole diversity of creatures, but do you think the lack of separate species was due to the fact that there was a whole pod of Whales?
The only other species I saw were just a few birds, Yellow Fin Tuna and another school of fish about one foot long that were also feeding on the tiny baitball fish. I was expecting sharks to show up but never saw them or any other large predator. It was 130 miles from any land so not super surprising in the lack of other animals.
Yes one of the most scary times I have ever been in the water! I pushed it too far at the beginning and they very quickly let me know the boundaries, as you can see in the first second. After they showed me they were not afraid to plow right through me if I was too close I backed up just a bit and they then seemed happy with the arrangement. After moving back, my head was definitely still on swivel but a far more relaxed one as I sensed they felt they had enough room to maneuver around me and still get a meal. If you do a google search you will find a man was indeed inhaled into the mouth of a Brydes Whale shortly after I filmed this. Proof that if you dont respect their boundary you will indeed be ingested!
Was waiting for it to get real dark and u realize they accidentally swallowed u, than cut to you making a fire inside and he spits you out cuz the smoke and than we have real life veggie tales
blueshadow711 in the very first shot, it happens quick, but you can see I almost did get swallowed. I swam left to get out of the way but there was another whale blocking my path as they tandem fed. Very scary and I backed up a bit after that.
I am a scuba instructor and divers used to call me “Rocket Robert”. I can move very fast, but in the opening second of the video I was almost not quite fast enough. Never been so scared, and I used to lead schooling Hammerhead shark dives. Sharks are far less scary as compared to two tandem feeding 40 ton 15 meter long whales coming directly at me with their 2.2 meter tall mouths wide open, which made them inherently blind directly in front of them. I was trapped between the two of them because they appeared suddenly out of a baitball, within arms reach on either side of me as they swirled by at 24kph.
@@Abebe345 make sure they know you see them. Keep your head on a swivel. Get something in between you and them but if you dont have an object in your hands just push off their nose using it as a fulcrum if they come close to you.
Thanks. I've see something that mysyifies me why more divers don't use it. It's a head strap that has two big eyes on the back of your head. They showed tests in a shark week video where it kept predatory sharks away when it was worn in their movement around divers where they were trying to approach in blindsides before.
I don't think it's the food. They are filter feeders, so after taking in a massive gulp of food and water, the excrete/expel the water through their baleen.
@@assarstromblad3280 , It actually did open it's mouth, but nothing came out until a few milliseconds later, when it expelled the water. Take a closer look, hun.
@@shaunapinnock7303 i have to agree with you it is expelling an excess of water. I think their mouths are like balloons that they try to over expand. Sometimes the excess water volume has to be let out. Very few fish escape. The baleen are pretty efficient.
The divers seem very close to the feed pod. The whales will not open their jaws to feed if the sardine/fish pod is not worth outlaying the body energy for the pass through. If the divers are in the the way of the fish pod, and making it difficult for the whales to line up their passes, it might be tiring. Just an observation.
As you can see in the first second of the clip, a whale comes right at me and is not deterred in the least that I am there and did not alter course as it passed through the location where I was. It was early in the encounter and I learned very quickly the optimal distance to be from the baitball to avoid becoming whale dental floss or a whale soccer ball. If I had not bolted on several occasions I would have been bitten or struck with a tail because the whales never hesitated in making close passes and had zero fear of me. As you can see in various other clips they pass very close many times just before they attack, apparently sometimes using me as a blocker to prevent the baitball from escaping in my direction in the last seconds of the attack. The whales would spend a lot of time compressing the baitball by doing this for each other; one blocks off one side of the baitball while one attacks from the other side. If I got too close to the baitball it would sometimes try to use me as cover so I was more often swimming hard away from it rather than towards it. It was extremly dangerous getting close to it. It was the opposite of what you propose, with me being in the way and preventing a strike. The whales used me to their advantage and I figured out my designated place in the foodchain as the ten tonne whales let me know very early they were not concerned if I chose to stand directly in the way of mealtime; but did provide an option for me to be used as their pawn.
At 00:40 seconds you can see this symbiotic relationship between the blocking and the feeding. One whale moves very slowly right to left, very close under the baitball while slowly coming up, all the while compressing the baitball with it’s body and tail, as another whale comes from the opposite direction passing very fast and close to the aiding slow swimming whale. Slow calming compressions from one side then quick strike by another from the opposite side and direction. It happens again at 2:37 with one compressing but this time three want to strike at the same time. Closest one wins with the other two instantly retreating. Lots of give and take going on. Poetry in motion and the definition of group hunting by herding.
@@Phiphiboozecruise Thankyou so much for replying to my comment, and for replying with so much enlightening and detailed informative instruction! It's patently clear that you have a deeply personal and internalised relationship with the whales, as well as a knowledge base far beyond that which I credited you... I really do apologise. Thankyou so much for continuing to follow your heart, mind and spirit to give these ethernal beings the respect they deserve as you gather this footage and information for us all. I hope it keeps on being recognised for the valuable contribution to awareness it is, (looking at your views etc.)🙏🐋☝🐬🙏
I should add I commented based upon a different video altogether and without sufficient thought... I'm going to take the work of each researcher far more seriously in future. Thankyou again. 🙏🙏🙏.
There were six. One was particularly bold and would regularly make close passes at me to check me out while the rest would maintain distance from me before they started intensely feeding. They were scared of me at first but then their hunger overcame the fear. They were not avoiding me when they fed. In the beginning seconds you can see I would have gotten in the mouth had I stayed where I was. It was hard to keep distance from the baitball as they were using me for cover so I couldnt see where the approaching whales were coming from or where they would exit. Very scary at times. This was shot 100 miles East of Mindanao, Philippines in the Philippine Sea. I was sailing on my yacht from North Mindanao near Surigao to Helen Reef, Palau.
@ireallyamjoeking amazingly enough I have had zero interest professionally from this very unique perspective. Weird. Only 2000 views too. People would rather watch motor vehicle accidents I guess.
Bryde whale's can swim up to 12 to 15 miles per hour and can dive through depths up to 1,000 feet mostly like to spend their days 50 feet within the water's surface.
Eat as in swallow, no. Can def partially close their mouths with part of your body inside though. Since I filmed this I have seen 2 clips of people getting momentarily trapped when their mouth closes.
it's a Bryde's whale similar species to the Blue whale, if it was a Blue whale it would be bigger and slow-moving, only this whale is more agile and streamline
What a remarkable experience to see this and then film it so others can share the experience. Thank you for uploading.
0:00 you almost got consumed
0:00 that bryde’s whale scared the sh*t out of me!
Fantastic footage! Thanks for sharing. That's a peaceful as I have felt in decades.
When they whip their mouths open like that, they look like when you air out a garbage bag 😹😹😹

That is so crazy! What an awesome experience that must have been! Amazing
It literally changed my outlook on life and pressed my desire to interact more with marine life.
@@Phiphiboozecruise1:57 was that edited in or an actual vocalization? If so you accidentally solved an ocean mystery.

00:00 you almost became dinner :P (ik it would just spit him out if it acidently got him in it's mouth but anyways)
Uhh,instead of saying it you should say he/she since animals have genders lol
@@PyroRaptor1 Well, I usually say "it" about animals I don't know the gender of and I think most do.
Assar Strömblad true
He wouldn't become dinner because the baleen whales throats are too small
It swims really fast at the school. Really cool to watch.
Amazing footage. They look absolutely prehistoric when diving up toward the surface.
1:57
you can hear them calling
Little lesson wen in the open ocean never look down because there’s no bottom that’s about a mile away and it’s terrifying

I know that you would be in little danger but I still think this video is all the evidence I need to prove my deep ocean fear is not irrational.
It's like a blue whale only faster and more steamline than any other baleen whales.
Now Now guys don't be greedy there's plenty of sardines to go around lol
Seeing such huge animals move so fast is uncanny. Getting hit by one would basically the same as getting hit by a bus.
Whales be like: *I am speed*
Where was it?
100 miles east of Mindanao Philippines in 16,000 foot deep water.
This video goes 0-60 real quick. That first shot looks cgi. These whales are slick. Like the Rice’s whale.
