A Lobster Diver Goes Fishing And Almost Gets Eaten By A Whale...

A Massachusetts diver looking for lobsters for others to eat almost became a meal himself.

Local lobster diver Michael Packard on Friday related what took place in the waters off the coast of Provincetown.

“I was lobster diving and A humpback whale tried to eat me. I was in his closed mouth for about 30 to 40 seconds before he rose to the surface and spit me out. I am very bruised up but have no broken bones,” he posted on a Provincetown community Facebook group page.

After being rejected as a bit of breakfast, Packard was taken to Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, Massachusetts, and then released with what he called “a lot of soft tissue damage.”
