Dive in to one of the most amazing interactions between humans and Pseudo Orcas ever captured on film!!

This never before released to the public video clearly demonstrates the natural bond and curiosity that humans and cetaceans have and as you can see, these Pseudo Orcas sought out this interaction of their own free will.

Keep in mind that this was filmed out in the open ocean, more than 20 miles off shore. These are TOTALLY WILD animals. And they like us!! They really, really like us!!

We have had many interactions with the Pseudo Orcas of Costa Rica and they routinely demonstrate their playfulness, intelligence and desire to hang out with the humans.

On this day, we were with a pod of 60 or so Pseudo Orcas for over an hour and at one point, we stopped our boat to take a break, Most of the pod kept going, but this mom and baby turned around and began to swim up to each and every one of us. The mother in particular was extremely friendly and curious, coming right up to us and giving a big smile.

Please note, and this is very important, we do not condone getting into the water with dolphins or whales unless there is a very obvious invitation. It is not okay to disrupt feeding and resting behaviors. If you think that dolphins and whales want to swim with you, wait until they have passed by, THEN get into the water. If they turn around to interact with you, you’ve got a mutual party! Never chase, harass, or otherwise molest dolphins and whales, or any wildlife for that matter. Be sure you know what you are doing and are respecting their natural behaviors. Yes, they want to interact with us, but let’s do it on THEIR terms since we are entering THEIR home.

This video was filmed with a GoPro by the lovely Nori Neumann of Women for Whales and Be As One Foundation (http://www.beasonefoundation.org/) on our Divine Dolphin tour in Drake Bay, Costa Rica of the Osa Peninsula..
