SAN DIEGO (NEWS 8) – San Diego wildlife photographer Domenic Biagini captured spectacular video of a pod of six killer whales off the San Diego coast over the weekend.
Biagini told News 8 he initially went out in search of a blue whale but described the orca encounter as a “whale watching jackpot.”
On his YouTube page, Biagini wrote, "Spending time alone with Orcas on a small boat in the middle of the ocean is an experience I will never forget. Viewed from above, the water was a perfect, serene blue that served as a beautiful window into the lives of these majestic animals."
The pod of orcas were captured Saturday morning several miles off Mission Beach.
