This is the stunning moment a fearless diver came face to face with a 50ft whale. The extraordinary encounter happened as diver Reinhard Mink swam in the sea near the Azores Islands in Portugal. He suddenly found himself just inches away from the Sei whale – one of the fastest whales on the planet, with speeds of up to 40mph. (Photo by Kai Matthes/Caters News/SIPA Press)
