    Humpback whales of Babuyan islands?

    question, has anyone tried diving with the humpbacks of Babuyan Islands?
    apparently they arrive April, May-June seemingly the best time till July

    thoughts on jumping into the blue with them, plus with dolphins?- was with a dive pro from palau last week and we were talking about jumping from the boat into the blue to chase the dolphins racing by the bow and was discouraged... they shared the dolphins will toy with you and it aint pretty, etc etc,

    anyway, in theory, can it be done...or not? or is it already offered?

    heres a vid by btbw 7 on their 2010 non diving expedition


    I just find out why do we have to go to all the way to Tonga Fiji for them when we have them right here,
    also the Sailfishes in Cagayan?,

    serious/curious inquiry

    also just want to add, waves are crazy in the area, but the south african sardine run areas run waves up to 5 meters high,..mixed with sardine predators which are sea birds, dolphins, various sharks and a bryde's whale which usually ends the show..and dive parties still manage to do this, sorry just cant let go of this idea...
