Aerial Orcas

Two Orcas execute a double breech at Sea World in San Diego, where they are still called Killer Whales. These huge creatures are incredibly graceful and agile. I have actually seen this happen once in the wild, where two humpback whales in Glacier Bay, Alaska did the same thing. Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough to get a shot of that one.

The whole lower section of the seating area is called "the splash zone," for very good reason. If you sit there, you will most certainly get wet, if not completely soaked!
