Singers of the Great Barrier Reef


I can feel the sound - not just hear it - maybe it is narcosis, or just my imagination. Beside me, my dive buddy Jenny, stops and listens too. The sound isn’t our imagination - it is real - the song of a humpback whale somewhere out in the blue water.

While our encounter doesn’t include eyeballing a whale, it is still mind blowing. Between June and September along the central and southern Great Barrier Reef you can have whale song on almost any dive.
