Whale watching is an incredible experience, giving us the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the largest animals on the planet. But the divers in this video had a similar encounter while actually being in the water with the massive mammals. The footage was shot using a GoPro Hero 3 (what else?!?) off the coast of Maui and features some astounding shots of whales as seen from underwater.
Seriously, I need to get one of these GoPro cams already!

Some slick gear. Are rebreathers more common these days? Pretty cool footage.

Sean: I don't think they're particularly common, so you know these divers know their stuff. Amazing footage with those whales for sure!
