Humpback whales can grow to as long as 50ft (15m) and weigh about 36 tons. According to the World Wildlife Fund, their global population is about 60,000.

Mr Packard, 56, told the Cape Cod Times he and his crewmate took their boat, the Ja'n J, off Herring Cove on Friday morning where conditions were excellent, with water visibility at about 20ft.

He told WBZ-TV News that after jumping off the vessel in scuba gear into the water, he "felt this huge bump and everything went dark".

'He's trying to swallow me'

He thought he had been attacked by one of the great white sharks that swim in the area, "and then I felt around and I realised there was no teeth".

"And then I realised: 'Oh my God, I'm in a whale's mouth and he's trying to swallow me. This is it, I'm going die'."

"Ugh! I had a human in my mouth, and he tasted terrible! I spit him out!"

9. So, at first he thought it was a shark because

they swim around those waters.

Why was HE swimming among sharks and whales?

I guess I'm just a fresh water person myself (Lake Erie). Not familiar with shark and whale waters. Don't wanna be, either.
