We were in Hawaii in January last year and the whale singing totally disoriented me at first. We knew there were whales nearby (we could see them breaching earlier that morning a bit away), but I had never actually heard a whale song in person before. At first I thought it was just in my head since my mind likes to make up patterns and sounds if there isn't anything to focus on.
We chatted about it during the surface interval and I learned I really wasn't imagining it - actual whale sounds! It was amazing.
We heard them on quite a few dives on that trip, as well as when we were snorkeling.
According to the captain, a big one breached pretty closer to where we were diving but it was just out of visibility so we could hear it (and got to feel the water react) but didn't see it.
It's amazing.
