About this clip

A whale surfaces, expelling a spout of water that forms a rainbow. The whale then moves through the water, gradually submerging. The sequence shows the whale's transition from surfacing to diving in the ocean.

Clip Intelligence

Production use
Useful for wildlife documentary, Baja travel edit, agency mood reel, brand film, or social cut needing aerial whale behavior in clear turquoise water at Buzzards Beach, Baja California Sur.
