Amongst the crew\u00a0were a few similar faces that we haven\u2019t laid eyes on in a while\u2026Razor and blade the young whippersnapper!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two pods tracked us east for miles past the Hood canyon, all still extremely docile and far spread! This behaviour, until this year, has been minimal. As we progress with the research and our skills develop as a crew we are beginning to pick up on patterns and behaviours that would only be noticed by the trained eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By the time the orca turned back west they went deep and wide, venturing into the 2000m depth contours. By now we had 4 pods surrounding us! We were so lucky to encounter the juveniles from Neo\u2019s pod up close and personal! It still amazes us to see how protective Nani (the bull) is with little neo! The pair were never more than 1m off each other throughout the entire day! It was nice to see him give mum a well-deserved break!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We cruised back with the four pods at ~2knots! The pods had finally started to join up into their tighter pod formations! The diving was getting progressively deeper and longer. At this point, our HUNTRESS split-tip appeared out of nowhere and right alongside! Were we in for a KILL???? The orca sped up for a brief moment and so did our excitement! The energy died down as quickly as it started, winding it right back down to almost a standstill! We didn\u2019t even make it back to the hotspot by 3pm!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On our way back we sighted some sperm whales logging and deeply breathing in distance!!! Sadly it wasn\u2019t long until we witnessed their tail ups, diving back to the depths for another prolonged hunt! We wish them the best of luck for their giant squid dinner!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was another EPIC <a title=\"Naturaliste Charters\" href=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/bremercanyonkillerwhales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Orca Australia Adventure in Bremer Bay<\/a>!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6597\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2x1iyn_albatrossKEITH6791fb-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6598\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2x1orca_3stripesKEITH6880fb-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 2\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6599\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2x1orca_calf_neonaniKEITH6830fb-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 3\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6600\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2x1orca_maleKEITH6906fb-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 4\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6601\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2x1orca_podKEITH6802fb-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 5\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6602\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2x1orcaKEITH6836fb-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 6\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6603\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2x1orcaKEITH6877fb-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 7\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6604\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2x1orcaKEITH6939fb-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 8\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6605\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2x1shipKEITH6828fb-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 9\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6606\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3x1orcaKEITH6896fb-300x100.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 10\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6607\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/3x1orcaKEITH6898fb-300x100.jpg\" alt=\"Orca Australia - 19\/03\/2020 - 11\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6599,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6596","daily_blogs","type-daily_blogs","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-whale-watching-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v28.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Cruisin&#039; In the Silky Seas of Bremer Bay | Naturaliste Charters<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The orcas were spread over a 2-mile area, all surfacing sporadically and for short periods!
