The drone footage was taken under NOAA NMFS 21260 and FAA Part 107 UAS remote pilot certificate #4002866.

"Fidget" joined me on the beach in anticipation of the storm headed our way. He has about finished with his mating plumage and will likely be off for Alaska in a week or two.

I would have not noticed that second tako if the first one didn’t dislodge it. Very cool video Don. On a couple occasions I observed fish taking nips out of the flesh of takos, inducing the tako to turn a dark reddish color. I wonder if that small (parrot?) fish was thinking about doing the same. .
I haven’t seen one of those in over a year. The last one I saw was feasting on a pencil urchin. Gorgeous things they are.
Why is that fish so interested?
Hoping for table scraps if Tako hunts or becomes prey probably.
Holy moly Don. Great job capturing the moment.
She's a tough ole girl, don't count her out just yet.
Was the Maui Princess still transporting people between Maui and Molokai?
I am not certain when ferry service stopped to Molokai but I think it was COVID lock down related.
The Maui Princess was a dinner cruise boat only. I believe The Molokai Princess was put out of business back in 2016 when the government starting subsidizing flights to and from Molokai, long before COVID lockdowns.
there's no sound
Drone footage which does not record audio.
OPRAH is smiling 😊😊😊
Where's the Coast guard 😑
Rot ro!
oooops
The Maui Princess, so Lahaina, part of my life, my neighborhood, all gone. The owners lost everything in the fire - their home, business, vehicles, incurring injury helping others-praying for no damage to environment & boat, praying for Dave & Michelle, praying for all of us, Lahaina
Yeah, that fire made me sick. Just like all the others around the world that were caused for a reason.
Haliʻa aloha Lahaina! 🥀
I worked on the boat for over 10 years, Dave & Michelle are wonderful people.
The swells must've been huge because that boat is over a 100 feet long. I doubt it will stay there long
Mind boggling how this could happen. Hope the fuel doesn’t leak but it appears the boat is touching the reef and swells look large.
Wowwwww
Nice
Silly children. Catch me if you can!
2:00, mmmm… dinner on the half-shell
I saw him in the sand!
You sure they weren’t flirting with each other?
Beautiful bird. So close ❤❤
What a gorgeous being <3
11 years ago. You gotta update us on the lizard training!
IT’S AFTERNOON NAP 💤 TIME 🦭🍃💜
Glad somebody’s getting some
Barnicles are like sea acne
Awesome
Wow what incredible footage!
How exciting! The whale certainly wanted to interact with you
OMG Fantastic!!!
Spectacular🤩
The crab wanted that shell bad. Tried to evict the snail.
Đã quá👍👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
Hey Don are you flying from a boat or shore? I love that they dont even care that you are there. I was flying my Mavic over there a few years ago and they would dive every time I tried to drop down for a little closer view.
I am flying from a boat. I am surprised you say the whales would dive down if you approached with the drone?!? Legally you are not to approach them in less that 100 meters (which I think was a lazy and inconsiderate adaptation of a rule that was written before drones existed. The "temporary" rule that is still in place mentions the likelihood of this restriction being revisited which has yet to happen) but it's ok if they come towards you. But I have not experienced any awareness or response to the Mavic drone or even the Phantom which was louder and larger?!? How close did you get and how certain are you that it was the approach of the drone that caused their behavior??!?
@@donmcleish Definitely not certain but it sure seemed that way. I was still several hundred feet above them. I was way over the legal height limit just trying to scan the horizon to see anything. As soon as I saw them I tried to get closer and lost them a few times. It was when I was a newbie so had a hard time keeping track of what I would find. Cant wait to go back and hopefully get even a taste of what you see. Love the videos. Thanks
That one is so content to just stay near the catamarans🤗🤗
Sounds like more than 2 whales??
The background is picking up on singers from all over. The sound can travel quite far!
@@donmcleish that is amazing.🤗💗 Thanks!
😃🤗🤗🤗💗💗💗💗🐋🐋 absolutely fantastic experience, footage!! I live how careful they are around boats, kyaks, surfers.. except when in a feeding frenzy, of course.. 😉..
hoooolllyyyy every time you're under water you can clearly hear the ghostly humpback whale calls from the distance, such an experience. thanks for sharing.
This is awesome. I have Cyclic vomiting syndrome (a neurological condition) and ive been having an episode, and humpbacks are my favorite animals so this just made me feel so much better❤ i needed a pick me up, thank you for sharing this🙌🫶
Whales remind us how small we really are in this world. Great footage; thanks for sharing.
OMIGOSH! When she looks into the camera it’s magical ❤
🤗🤗💗💗
I dont know if its a good idea but I'd be getting in the water lol
Same it is okay to
Just dont approach them. Let them approach you. They've never hurt a human, though. They're very curious animals, and also very emotional. Their songs are beautiful ❤
So cool, some of the footage is like a sci-fi movie! Thanks for sharing this with us out here in south east Alabama USA ☮️❤️
Wow that is amazing footage. Thank you
That’s so cool especially with the whale songs
Nice shots! Was this recent? I've been wondering how the Mala dive site has been doing post fire.
Yes, a couple days ago. Vis was good considering how bad it has been elsewhere.
@@donmcleish Was there any apparent damage to the reef/marine life from the toxic runoff?
@@DrewJC25 I saw nothing visually evident.
Fantastic!
What an epic adventure it was!
