Description

In Alaska, after being underwater for awhile a humpback returns to the surface to breath.  When the whale decides to dive deep (what whale researchers call a terminal dive), it usually flicks its tail into the air and heads down.  An average stay underwater before surfacing in Alaska is five to eight minutes with 20 minutes being a really long dive.  The longest recorded sounding was 45 minutes in the tropical waters of Hawaii.
