Curious Juvenile Orca

A curious juvenile orca from the Bremer Canyon killer whales takes repeated looks at the GoPro camera the crew had in the water. This youngster had also done the same thing the previous April!

Eastern tropical pacific orca

Not off of Southern Australia. :)

Great but you’re legally supposed to turn off your motor to prevent injury to the orca.

This is in Australia not the US and regulations are quite different. It also would be unsafe to do so in the open ocean conditions we were in. The company we were out with is extremely knowledgeable and respectful operating around these whales as they have been for over a decade.

The vessel was in neutral. Guidelines are different country to country and this was in Australia. It would have been unsafe to turn off the motors of this vessel in the open ocean conditions but with the boat in neutral the props were not spinning.
