WhalewatchingTV.com Offers Live Whale Watching on Web
URL: http://www.WhalewatchingTV.com

Escape your office without leaving it, go out on the open ocean, and
see blue whales live online. See and hear the largest animals that
ever lived, swimming right next to you, and huge herds of wild
dolphins, in pods of over 5,000 dolphins in a single pod and more,
aboard www.WhalewatchingTV.com. This is the first and only place in
the world where you can actually go Whale Watching LIVE out on the
open ocean from your computer.

This is much more than a web cam - it is an Educational Reality Show.
Whale Watching TV is produced by an award winning wildlife filmmaker,
"Capt. Dave" Anderson, of Capt. Dave's Dolphin and Whale Safari, in
Dana Point, California.

Capt. Dave even built an underwater viewing pod on his boat, (the
first of its kind anywhere in the world), for passengers to get eye to
eye with dolphins and whales. He also placed seven cameras onboard,
including an underwater camera, and an underwater hydrophone, so you
can see and hear the dolphins and whales underwater. They also have
microphones on the captain and crew, so you can learn about the ocean,
and the many marine mammals in this area, from them. There are even
fact sheets you can download, clips from recent trips, and excerpts
from Capt. Dave's films and more on the site.

You will also learn what it is like to work on a commercial whale
watching boat; some of the pressures they face, like back-to-back
trips, bad weather, seasick passengers, and other problems. Sometimes
being live all the time is a challenge for the crew: "Put a microphone
in front of a sailor and you never know what you'll hear", but overall
everyone onboard loves sharing what they do with the viewers. The
area of ocean that this live feed comes from, is considered by experts
to be one of the best year round dolphin and whale watching areas in
the world.

The site is already Live 24/7 from the boat so check it out now! And
on October 3, 2009, dolphin and whale defenders; Actress Hayden
Panettiere star of “Heroes” TV show and Isabel Lucas star of
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", will be joining them live on
their boat, Manute'a, for Whale Watching TV's official grand opening
to raise money for the Whaleman Foundation and the Save The Whales
Again Campaign. Viewers can watch the entire broadcast live on
www.WhalewatchingTV.com

If you sign up as a follower of WhaleWatchingTV on Twitter, you will
receive a Tweet letting you know trip times and alerting you whenever
they are with whales or dolphins, (and, or, if something special is
happening), so that you can tune in to the broadcast and watch them
live.

Educators, parents, kids, whale and dolphin lovers, and curiosity
seekers will find much aboard www.WhalewatchingTV.com. to keep them
coming back.
