By Eric Hanauer and Karen Straus

In this film, underwater imager and writer, Eric Hanauer and nature imager and writer, Karen Straus dive with a mother Humpback Whale, her calf, and a male escort, off Roca Partida, a rocky island about 250 miles off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, Baja del Sur, Mexico.  This short video features some very cool Humpback footage!  Narrated by both Eric and Karen, who also both shot the HDV footage, and the still photographs that are artfully edited into the footage, this film was one of the judges' and audience's favorites at the most recent San Diego UnderSea Film Exhibition.  Beautifully edited by Eric, with a soundtrack of ambient whale songs.
