Hopefully you are scheduled in the days around the full moon when they are more likely to be seen? They aren't generally found just any time. I don't know much about the shops there (don't recall who we used as it was arranged through someone else) but I would probably book soon. They need permits to do the whale dives and there are only so many spots.

When we did these dives we started fairly deep, I think around 90, and worked our way up because there was supposed to be a better chance of finding the spawning fish and therefore whales down deeper. This was all out in blue water with no visual references. So you might want to confirm the details of the dives and make sure they will be ok for you and your daughter.
