Watch a big whale say hello to a free diver with its nose: ‘I felt its enormity’

A whale gave a free diver off the coast of Tasmania a once-in-a-lifetime experience when it swam up to him and said hello with what he described as a “nose boop”.

Kaeo Landon Lane was filming in the water at Bicheno when two southern right whales drifted slowly towards him, appearing through the soft murk of the sea. One of the whales came right up to Lane, who stuck out his hand.
