Whale watching on the Indian Ocean island of Réunion may be a victim of its own success after a series of run-ins between a female humpback and over-eager divers seizing a rare chance to swim with the creatures.
Since the start of the season in June this year, scientists have recorded some 230 humpback whales have been counted in the area and on Oct. 17, it was a mother and her calf that were attracting the attention of several tourist boats.
