Whale Day Pictures and Photos

Whether you are snorkeling with humpback whales in the Dominican Republic or venturing into the High Arctic in search of narwhals these types of encounters leave us awe-struck. Sharing the water with these incredible animals is a humbling experience and keeps us divers coming back again and again.
