He shared incredible and dangerous footage on social media which has gone viral. In the video, Morris came face-to-face with two killer whales. He called it the ‘best day my life.

“The orca were extremely close, barely a metre away. I have never seen this face-to-face interaction before but I have dreamt about it.”
Morris further said that he just enjoyed the experience after seeing the two whales.
“It seemed a lot longer but probably only an additional 30 seconds on top of what was in the videos. I had no fear but certainly respected them as they are powerful wild animals after all.
Luckily they are also extremely intelligent and don't harm people other than those that keep them captive,” he added.
Morris revealed that he was swimming with 12 of his friends. He was the first who encountered the whales.
