My wife and I constantly talk about a particular moment we lived through diving off the coast of Reunion Island. We both agree this has been the most beautiful moment of our lives while interacting with an animal, and we wish we had a recording with it. 

Now with AI video modality, we can re-create the scene somewhat. Veo 3 has a long way to go, but It's a decent start. 

This is the prompt I used to generate the video. I used the meta-prompting technique to come up with the prompt: 

A powerful, underwater narrative unfolds. Captured from directly behind three divers looking out into the vast, seemingly empty deep blue, a moment of serene tranquility shatters. The central diver, with striking, flowing red hair, fully equipped, stands mesmerized, perfectly motionless, arms at her side, facing away from the camera. To her sides, two other divers, one blonde woman and one black haired man, reacting with instinctual caution, are visible slightly behind her, subtly pushing back with their hands, swimming in reverse. Out of nowhere, a colossal mother humpback whale and her calf (under the mother's right fin) silently emerge from the crystal-clear deep blue, pierced by subtle sunbeams, swimming directly towards this group. The whale, with incredibly detailed, lifelike skin texture, glides effortlessly and impossibly close, just inches above the red-haired diver's head. The story is punctuated by the intensifying sound of underwater breathing as the whale approaches, escalating into muffled underwater screams of pure, overwhelming wonder and disbelief.
