•  Support While I would prefer a video that is less shaky, I think that this video has high educational value and is relatively rare to find with an open license and fairly good quality. There is sound included in the video. ↠Pine (✉) 02:29, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Yes, an elegant, captivating, and audibly eery take. I highly appreciate that the sequence continues until the whale's body has almost disappeared from sight with only its fluke driving it downward into the abyss. The residual jerky movements are IMHO unavoidable as the photographer is submerged and thus bar any foothold to stabilize himself and/or the camera. I thus agree with User:Pine about the relative rarity of underwater sequences and the correspondingly high educational value, especially in combination with these sounds taken, I assume, by hydrophone. More, please. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 13:18, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
