A small group of kayakers experienced a rare sight this past sunday when they encountered a group of humpback whales feeding in San Francisco Bay. Lyrinda Snyderman and Dick Mallory from Petaluma, California were kayaking in the bay when they spotted a group of feeding seabirds and went to investigate. What they encountered was a group of feeding humpback whales, an encounter not often experienced in San Francisco Bay.

Cameraman John Shaw of GinClearFilm has released some amazing humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) footage shot in Tonga earlier this year. It was shot whilst working on a new IMAX 3D film called Sea of Love, using RED cameras housed in a 3Deep housing.
Two divers narrowly escape being gulped by feeding humpback whales off Morro Bay. Divers Shawn Stamback and Francis Antigua were in the water in between dives off Morro Bay hoping to film feeding whales in the distance when they got the surprise of their lives. (Image from Shutterstock
