SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JUNE 23: A humpback whale is seen breaching outside of Sydney Heads at the beginning of whale watching season during a Manly Whale Watching tour on June 23, 2011 in Sydney, Australia. The first day of winter in New South Wales, June 1st, marks the start of the Humback and southern right whales migration from southern regions to the north to warmer waters. Whale watchers should expect too have plenty to see with the whale population increasing each year. The migration north continues through July and with the whales returning between September and November. (Photo by Cameron Spencer/Getty Images)

A diver says that an enormous humpback whale shielded and protected her from a 15-foot tiger shark during a dive and here’s the video…

If what the diver says is true, this may be the first ever encounter captured on film of a whale protecting a human!

From Youtube:

“This is the heart-stopping moment when a giant, 50,000-pound humpback whale took it upon itself to push an unsuspecting snorkeler through the water, looking to protect her from a nearby SHARK.

The stunning video and images Nan Hauser and her team were able to capture – including point-of-view footage – show how the whale pushed whale biologist Nan with his head and his mouth, tucked her under its pectoral fin – even lifted the biologist out of the water on one occasion.

The moment, Nan, 63, said, is perhaps proof of whale’s intuitive nature to protect other species of animal – including humans – something she believes has never been captured on film, and intuition the biologist compared to firemen being willing to rush into a house on fire to help save the lives of those they do not know.”

Do YOU think the whale was protecting this woman?
