Fullerton College marine scientist Sean Chamberlin videotaped a majestic blue whale shooting water from its blow hole then heading into a dive off Dana Point, where four of the creatures came near a sightsighting boat of Friday.
Captain Chad Steffen said the shark, about 15-foot long, was cruising alongside the Ocean Adventure catamaran at about 2:30 p.m. when it caught his eye. A marine biologist on board also saw the shark, but by the time Steffen tried to swing the boat around for spectators to get a look, it was gone.
