Meeting the white king of the oceans

The water is cold and I’m hearing the noises from the belugas around me. I am diving in the cold water of the White Sea, and surrounded by these large white marine mammals.
The camera is ready and I’m looking for an animal to come close enough to capture the ultimate image.
Suddenly one of the large animals comes straight at me. The beluga opens its mouth and shows me his sharp teeth. I press the shutter of my camera and know that the image is going to be I winner.
