Escorted Group Trip – Timor Whale Migration
Join award-winning underwater photographer Pete McGee for a week of diving and whale watching in Timor Leste. Dive pristine fringing reefs, where you’ll encounter everything from macro critters to BIG encounters, with dugongs, dolphins… and whales. From October to December each year, the Timor’s Wetar Strait becomes a marine super highway between the Pacific and Indian Oceans. During this time different species of whales, including blue, beaked, humpback, sperm, killer, short-finned pilot and melon-headed whales can be seen, along with very large pods of dolphins.
Pete will be on hand to lead your group, running photo workshops and providing photography tips and hints to help you capture the experience.
