The incredible footage, shared by the whale watching company Gone Whale Watching, shows these playful creatures soaring above the water right next to the boat, leaving everyone aboard in awe.

Photographer Erica Sackrison, who was on the boat, described the scene to CBS 8 San Diego.

"You could just see them jumping like, 20 feet in the air, and everybody on the boat just started pointing and I'm like, what is everybody looking at? Almost feels like they were doing Olympic-style jumps, like they were just all trying to be like Simone Biles and just touch the sky and come down. It was awesome."

According to the company, conditions off the San Diego coast have been ideal, leading to an influx of marine life, including sharks and dolphins.
