Cape Cod diver left with a whale of a tale after a humpback spat him out

Michael Packard was diving off the coast of Provincetown, Massachusetts, Friday, when the capital cetacean caught him unawares.

Packard, an experienced diver, told WBZ that he still had his breathing apparatus on in the whale's mouth. After what Packard estimated to be about 30 seconds in the mammal's mandibles, he said the whale surfaced quickly and spit him out. Biologist Jooke Robbins, the director of Humpback Whale Studies at Provincetown's Center for Coastal Studies, said the unusual encounter was most likely an accident.

Mayo said his son, Josiah, is the captain on Packard's boat, responsible for tracking the diver's movements by his air bubbles. Mayo told CNN he was there when his son brought Packard ashore, and emergency services immobilized him and brought him to the hospital.

This is believable, it happened to Jonah in the Bible😳

Jonah.

Jonah?

Like Jonah.

Hope he feels some remorse for the animals he eats 🤔

Ewwwww -said the whale

Did you eat anything with garlic and onion before heading out🤔🤔🤣🤣

I gather the whale's mouth acted like a pressurised capsule preventing him from getting bends when it surfaced. Lucky!

Now He'll have that Cool Tale to tell his grandkids.

A dislocated knee and bruises...amazing!

Interesting.

Holy Jonah!

Hi Jonah

If true, that's a Jonah story! 🐳

Omg.

The only thing left was a small bit of poop at the back of the whale's tongue!
