A video shows a diver narrowly avoiding a close encounter with a whale while filming underwater near South Africa. According to reports, the divers are in the water filming a school of sardines when a large whale approaches. The diver appears to be at close range as the whale passes near him, and the footage depicts the whale’s body moving extremely close to where he is swimming. The incident is described as happening “by inches,” with the diver avoiding being taken by the whale despite the proximity. Other observers note that the whale’s attention appears connected to the presence of sardines and the feeding activity in the area. The reports focus on the near-miss rather than any injury, and they present the event as a striking example of how quickly marine wildlife can come close during underwater filming. The accounts are based on the circulating video and describe the circumstances as divers capturing sardines when the whale encounter occurs.
