Getting Nayru's Pearl

I have a question that I never wanted to find out the answer to. Well, there is a maelstrom (large whirlpool) where you have to open the cave. so does that mean that the whirlpool brings you closer to the center every time you go around, like what happens when you're fighting a Big-Octo? I already got Nayru's Pearl, but I've always wondered about this. If anyone knows, I would like to know.

Yes you get closer and closer to the middle every time so you have to bomb the cave or kill the Big-Octos quickly.
