“Bound by Curiosity: The Diver’s Unforgettable Encounter with a Playful Giant Beneath the Waves”
A Marine Wildlife Expert
Nan Hauser is a veteran marine biologist who has spent the majority of her life monitoring the ocean, in particular whales and dolphins. After 28 years of experience, her career has led her to take part in countless dives and expeditions in the Cook Islands as well as the Bahamas.
Hauser even managed to turn the territorial waters off the South Pacific’s Cook Islands into a whale sanctuary. She has been featured on shows airing on Animal Planet, the Discovery Channel, and National Geographic.
Going Beneath The Surface
One of the world’s most renowned whale experts, Hauser took up residence on Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands. This way, she could be as close to her work as possible. The 15-island country is home to 21 species of dolphins and whales, more than 600 species of fish, and 16 types of sharks.
On a day just like any other, Hauser suited up and dove into the sapphire water, excited for another day on the job. Just minutes after entering the water, she saw a massive whale emerge from the deep.
She Didn’t Recognize This Whale
With the sea animal rapidly approaching, Hauser realized that what was swimming directly at her was a massive humpback whale. This is a type of whale with the capability to weigh 40 tons and grow up to 60 feet long, and it was coming right at her!
