Divers on a recent excursion to Mexico’s Socorro Island became part of a scene that was so magical and idyllic that it will remain in their minds forever: a mother humpback whale and her newborn calf, along with a male escort, playfully going about their day seemingly without a care.

But the same divers, a day later, would learn how quickly and dramatically nature can turn things around; how a scene that was so wonderful one day could be so heart-wrenching the next.



The killer whale image was captured by Lisa Sorensen, with a GoPro camera on a pole. The video shows the brief killer whale attack from above the surface. This could be the first documentation of a killer whale attack on humpback whales in Mexican waters.
