We once bumped into a huge school of some type of whale/ huge dolphin that we could never identify was very pale in color but must have been 50 of them

We had them off Twini couple years back. Thought it was Killer whales at first.

Exactly our encounter but we had about 40mins with them, sometimes 3m under the boat so could identify.......using Google :nuts:
