It's 7:30 in the morning, the lagoon still grey with sleep. You get on board and count: one, two... six. That's it. No group stepping on it, no waiting. Just you, and a Guide who knows these waters like a loved face. Under the hull, you dip a hydrophone — and silence becomes a song. Serious, ancient: a male, invisible, under your feet. Farther away, a mother, who came from Antarctica to give birth in these warm waters. She's not here for you, she's here for her little one. And perhaps that's what's most upsetting: to be a discreet witness to a moment we let you share. If conditions permit, you slide into the water. A few meters away, a huge shape moves, slow, unreal. Fifteen meters. Twenty tons. One eye looking at you, one second. You're not breathing. You'll never tell it quite right then. You'll have to say, "I was there." Six. No more. The season lasts a few months. The seats, a few minutes.
