While on a spearfishing and cray dive just off Little Barrier Island in New Zealand, Sam Galloway and some friends came across a pod of orcas hunting for food nearby. While the adult whales didn’t seem to care for them at all, the babies were a lot more curious.

Now that these killer whales have seen humans for themselves, they’ll lose interest soon enough. There are way too many fish in the sea to be concerned with one species.
