A baby Humpback whale leaves his/her mother to swim with me. In the waters of Polynesia in the summer time. He was three months old and approximately 8 to 9 meters (27 to 30 ft) 3 tons in weight. We were equally curious about each other, but very careful and avoided touching one another. When he rolled his big body generated a strong current that pulled me towards him. When he opened his fins it was as if he wanted to hold me, to express his happiness to play with me. We dived together to ten meters (33ft) and then he continued his decent to 20 meters to join his mother. We met every day for a week, for as much as 3 hours playing together.
