Season 1 Episode 3

Researcher Oswaldo Vasquez swims with humpback whales in the Silver Banks Marine Reserve.

Researcher Oswaldo Vasquez swims with humpback whales in the blue waters of the Silver Banks Marine Reserve in the Dominican Republic, which is a nursery for humpback whale calves. The calves rely on the warmth created by the water’s interaction with the sun’s photons. This interaction also causes the ocean to be a deep blue color.
