A veteran Cape Cod lobster diver was situated off the shore of Provincetown, around 35 feet down, when he was gulped by a humpback whale, Michael Packard.
A business lobster diver who got found out in the mouth of a humpback whale off the shoreline of Cape Cod on Friday morning said he thought he planned to pass on when he was gulped by a humpback whale.
After he was delivered from Cape Cod Hospital that he was around 45 feet (14 meters) somewhere down in the waters off Provincetown when “all of a sudden I felt this huge bump” Michael Packard, 56, of Wellfleet, told the media
He thought a shark attacked him, water in some common area, then he got the feeling that it has no teeth and he doesn’t even in any pain.
“Then I realized, oh my God, I’m in a whale’s mouth … and he’s trying to swallow me,” he said. “And I thought to myself OK, this is it — I’m finally — I’m gonna die.” His musings went to his better half and kids. He appraises he was in the whale’s mouth for around 30 seconds, however kept on breathing since he actually had his breathing machine in.
Then, at that point, the whale surfaced, trembled its head, and let him out. He was protected by his teammate in the surface boat.
His sister, Cynthia Packard, firstly told the Cape Cod Times that her sibling broke a leg, however, he said later that his legs are recently swollen.
Charles “Turbulent” Mayo, a senior researcher and whale master at the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown, told the paper that such human-whale experiences are uncommon.
Probable sand the spear, humpbacks are not forceful and Mayo thinks it was an unplanned experience while the whale was benefiting from fish.
