Rare encounter with killer whales captured on film

(CBS News) Last Fall we showed you a rare and spectacular moment captured on film of a dolphin pod swimming underwater. Now, with Spring in full swing, we have another moment like it to show you with killer whales instead of dolphins. Go ahead and take a look in the video above.

The very rare and very close encounter with killer whales captured-on-film was posted by YouTube user RichardMHoward who writes about the moment:

Rich & Laura Howard celebrated their 20th Wedding Anniversary in La Paz Mexico at Costa Baja Resort/Spa. Their dive with the friendly resident sea lion colony was interrupted when whales dropped by. Watch the amazing video as these whales play "like dolphins" in the wake of their boat.
Breathtaking, awe-inspiring and, without a single doubt, deserving of a triple-rainbow salute of nature shown in its majestic glory from all of us here at The Feed! Gratitude and many thanks go out to Richard for sharing this very rare moment with us and the world at large to see!
