Hello, i’ve been taking a look at Sea Creatures and It stunned me that a whale’s ping/sonar is so loud that It can kill you (by blowing you from inside out iirc), so why divers are not afraid to swim near a Whale?

Because the premise that whales sonar is loud enough to do that is a false one based on a misunderstanding. Decibels are a relative scale, and the reference level for sound in water is different than in air. Whale sonar is not actually loud enough to kill.
