Occurred on June 6, 2020 / Maria Island, Tasmania, Australia Info from Licensor: "The video was taken on an island off Tasmania's east coast called Maria Island in a bay called Chinamans Bay.
Myself and three friends were about to go recreational diving for scallops when I saw the whales.
I kept my distance from them so as not to disturb their space.
I thought if I turned off my motor they might approach us and that's what they did.
It's a memory that I will never forget.
After I took the video the southern right whales swam to deeper water heading south to Marion Bay.
It was 1 pm when all this happened.
The boat, built by Edencraft, is named NoRush."
