An Array of Giants
by firmm Team
On the boat trip from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Friday, we were lucky to meet several giants of the sea. On a single boat trip we saw 2 Fin Whales, a group of Bottlenose Dolphins, Pilot Whales and 3 Sperm Whales. Such a sighting is rare in the Strait of Gibraltar - despite a large whale density- and was of course a cause for great joy. Even Diego - our longsuffering seaman - couldn't contain himself from taking out his camera and he shot one picture after another. Of course, we don't want to deny you the pleasure of viewing these pictures.

Diego Diaz has been working as a seaman for firmm for 4 years. His experience in the Strait of Gibraltar and his knowledge as a seaman has been a great advantage for firmm. Even after countless boat trips to the whales he is still excited about the animals. (photo: Carine Zimmermann)
