Whale Won't Leave Diver Alone

And although their massive bodies could certainly cripple a sea-faring vessel that crosses their path, whales are slow and peaceful. But one day, marine biologist Nan Hauser feared for her life when a whale took an interest in her and wouldnt leave her alone. She spends a lot of time under the water with whales and sharks, but this whale had her confused.

The whale didn't seem to want to harm her. On the contrary, it seemed to love it when she reached out and touched it. It still wouldn't leave her side, swimming over to her and sticking like glue.

As marine biologist Elena Reyes dove into the waters near the Cook Islands, a giant humpback whale wouldnt leave her alone. It kept blocking her path, pushing her away from her boat, and... With the whale steadfastly guarding her flank, Elena seized the opportunity to put her daring escape plan into action.

Summoning every ounce of courage she possessed, she propelled herself forward with all her might, determined to break free from the whales grasp and swim to safety. One day, Nan and her team went diving in the waters near the Cook Islands to observe whale migration in the Pacific Ocean. Nan was underwater while her colleagues watched from a boat using drones.

In all her years of diving, Nan had never faced a life-threatening situation. As a young girl, Nan Hauser had always dreamed of working in the water with dolphins and whales. But her terrible seasickness and fear of the ocean made her career in marine biology seem very unlikely.

When she turned thirteen, she saw the video of a dolphin culling that changed everything. Nan Hauser is a 63-year-old marine biologist who has made it her lifes work to study, research, and help whales. Born in Maine, shes trotted across the globe for the past three decades on a mission to document and save as many whales as she can by fighting for their rights and protection.
