Recently lobster diver, Michael Packàrd, was doing a routine dive, one he’s done many times before. When suddenly things went dark and he felt an immense pressure on his legs. He didn’t know at the time what was happening to him but onlookers saw the whale swim off. Michael was inside a humpback whale’s mouth.
The diver took to Reddit to do an honest and candid AMA about his encounter. His son, Jacob, was answering on his behalf. Michael is fine and his experience is so unique that we at Bright Side are fascinated by it.
