No doubt the whale could swallow a person whole. That would have been something. Inside a whales gut. Tank and mask on, able to breath. Hopefully the whale would produce a large burp thus expelling the diver!

We had a surfer knocked unconscious at Bondi earlier this month. http://www.smh.com.au/environment/wh...707-2pjn5.html

Maybe the whales have decided to hit back for all those years of whaling.
