How Do You Say "what's it like down there" In Orca?

Seattlest was recently on a ferry through the San Juans that stopped to allow a pod of orcas to cross in front of us. From the car deck of the boat we couldn't see much - just a few dorsal fins arching out of the water and some interested pleasure boats trying to keep a respectful distance. Oooo, wow, big fish in the water. Seeing the dorsal fins is pretty cool, but having the dorsal fins remind you of what you're not seeing is very cool. There's another dimension right next to us that we never get to truly experience - In fact it takes a few dorsal fins for us to even acknowledge its presence. It's weird in that other dimension, and although we're generally not conscious of it, we have a presence there.
