Oops, sorry, by 'around' I meant probably within a few miles, we saw them leaping out of the water while on the boat but I didn't actually encounter them underwater! Boats and people aren't allowed to get close to the whales, so you'd only ever come across them while diving if they approach you. The divemasters said they'd been diving there for 25 years and never met one underwater, so it's a pretty rare thing. Besides, I'd probably shit myself if one ever swam up to me, they're huuuge.
It was a very pretty drive! I'm sure it's even nicer when it's not bucketing it down, but hey, I'm kind of used to constant rain, given where I live...
