Bare Facts: Unknown ~ Born 1997 ~ Mother Lama ~ Father Unknown ~ Children None ~ ID Straight, thick fin; open saddle

Diver was born in 1997, to Lama. Although the young whale is almost 10, we still aren't sure if Diver is a he or a she.
Diver was born the same year his/her great-uncle Booker died. For 7 years, he/she was the youngest whale in the family, and enjoyed the baby position much longer than older siblings Kisameet, Virago, and Quadra, who only got to the youngest for 2, 3, and 3 years respectively.
When the young whale was 3 years old, uncle Weynton passed away, but other than that, the family remained mostly unchanged for Diver's first years. Then, in 2004, Diver's younger sibling C25 was born, and uncle Squally and brother Kisameet both began to mature.
In 2006, when Diver was 9 years old, sister Quadra died, possibly leaving behind a newborn calf!
Now, Diver is almost 10 years old. He/she will be maturing in a few years, which means we'll finally know his/her gender! As Diver has grown, he/she has become quite distinctive; the saddle has a noticeable finger marking and the fin is straight and thick.
