Shawn Stamback was diving with a friend off the coast of Morro Bay when he noticed thousands of sardines rushing around him. Seconds later two humpback whales exploded out of the water, missing him and his diving buddy by a few feet. "I was right in the middle of the meatball," he said later.
According to Pete Thomas of Pete Thomas Outdoors, "Stamback said he had a feeling that the whales knew he and Antigua were in the water, and missed them intentionally."
