Watch as jet skiers spot a whale just outside of South Shields pier
A jet skier has shared some impressive footage of a whale close to South Shields.
Footage shared with the Shields Gazette shows two jet skiers travelling alongside a whale just outside of South Shields pier.
The impressive video, which was captured by Jordan Pearce, shows the whale breaching and diving in the North Sea.


As the jet skiers keep up with the whale, it can be seen blowing water into the air.
When sharing the video with the Gazette, Jordan described it as a “once in a life time experience”.
Further up the North East coast, in Northumberland, guests aboard Serenity Farne Island Boat Tours and Billy Shiel’s Boat Tours were lucky enough to spot a couple of pods of orcas.
Visitors were able to capture footage and photographs as they jumped and flipped out of the sea on Sunday, May 31.
