Default Sperm whale

Anyone interested in these leviathans may like to view this unusual
footage of a sperm whale captured around about a depth of around 900 MSW
by an ROV operator working offshore in the Gulf of Mexico in March this
year. To my knowledge a whale of any species has never been filmed at
such a great depth before and considering that only the ROV's lighting
array was used to catch this footage it's amazingly clear.

Hi Kauhl,
Not sure exactly what you're asking here. As far as I know very little
information has been forthcoming from the actual ROV company involved in
the sub-sea contract. I assume this maybe due to the fact the vehicle
operators just made a copy of the actual whale footage for their own
personal use and the company just disgarded the whale sequence or it had
been edited out by the operators prior to being sent to their company
base. After all they would be interested only in the engineering
footage of the pipeline complex and not the whale. It then found it's
way to Dr. Victoria Turner of Appin Scientific Limited, see link below.

Hope that helps and that is what you're asking Kaul.
