Craig Parry and his crew were just in a four-metre inflatable when this baleen behemoth exploded from the depths in front of them.

Despite the difficult conditions Chris, aged 40, was able to take some amazing images during this thrilling encounter in Byron Bay Australia. Humpback whales migrant up and down the eastern Australian coast heading to warmer waters in the north to breed and then back down to colder waters in the south to feed.
