The Orca's are here with baby's. Since these are living in the wild I think they are protective of their young. Not that a big Orca would harm someone to protect itself, but it would give you a flick with the tail to keep you away from the baby. They do enjoy sucking right up to the boat at 15 miles per hour and are within arms reach. When you slow down they come right to you and come for a look. Absolutely a wonderfull experience. I think it's better to go swim with other wales that eat little stuff. Orca's do eat our size. Maybe Steve is braver than I am.
