Whale SURPRISES Divers In The English Channel
A humpback whale gave a group of divers a massive surprise when it popped up next to their boat in the English Channel.
Diver Thomas Packman filmed it as it rolled over and over next to their boat, splashing its tail into the water.
Thomas, 26, and his colleagues from Mutiny Divers spotted the beast after exploring a shipwreck in the English Channel between Dover and Folkestone.
Thomas said in 13 years of diving he has never seen anything like it in English waters, his colleague said he’d not seen one that close in 30 years of diving.

00:34 What's he doing?
00:36 Stunning the fish.
00:38 That's the whale I saw, if not bigger.
00:44 He doesn't see that every time.
00:56 I'm just going to...
00:58 Get ready on the other side.
01:05 It's going to make the boat in a minute.
01:15 He's taking his grenade and doing a no-go.
01:17 Oh he's upside down look he's not snagged up is he?
01:20 No.
01:22 I wouldn't have thought so.
