She embarks on a jounrney together with a team of scientist and underwater specialists to observe and interact with the curious whales of Playtpus Bay, off Australia's coast. You;ll witness the enormous rescue by locals to free a young humpback whale stranded helplessly on a nearby beach. In another spectacular display, males battle for superemacy with nearly disastrous consequences for human onlookers. Tina goes underwater with these gentle giants and watches an inquistive whale approach her from out of the depths. In a beautiful finale of encounters with Whales, he whale extend his enormous pectoral fin to touch her so gently, like an underwater handshake, that it can only be seen as an act of trust.
