A freediver was able to film "the powerful and impressive clicks” of a pod of sperm whales.
Divemaster Anaelle Henry had been swimming with another sperm whale when she looked down and had an incredible surprise.
“I saw from below, a group of sperm whales coming up,” she says. Quickly turning on her camera, she knew she was witnessing something exceptional. “The clicks were so loud. I had the feeling I was inside the pod!” she says.
The thing Henry loves the most is the whales’ social behaviour. The special encounter is imprinted on her memory, she says: “I will always remember that day.”
