Double trouble this afternoon with @adrianbullockp

Double trouble this afternoon with @adrianbullockphotography we were lucky to have a pair of humpbacks that really put on a show for us! I love these whales so much! I love the way they sense your excitement and honestly they love to please people with a close interaction and showing off their latest moves. Like any good performer they love to be appreciated - a few whistles and whoops from us and they will always give you something special to remember . Then we were caught 10km offshore on a JetSki by a horrid northerly and ran home with the fuel alarm going off into the setting sun :) remember to always fill your tanks before going offshore !!

Freediving with a couple of Byron locals :) I’m back on the water and excited to run some Freedive courses. There are plenty of grey nurse sharks and whales around at the moment if you’ve wanted to improve or start freediving let’s get out there !! Message me for course details for Byron Bay and the Gold Coast

Perfect winters morning for snuggling with a loved

Perfect winters morning for snuggling with a loved one!This humpback couple danced intimately and affectionately before my eyes, I felt awed and humbled to witness such a moment of powerful love and emotion between these gentle ocean giants. I’m always reminded of their incredible empathy and clear emotional intelligence.

Sharks are not mindless killing machines, neither

Sharks are not mindless killing machines, neither are they loving and affectionate pets that love a good cuddle and scratch. Both portrayals of these ocean legends is false. Make no mistake -They are apex predators and have the potential to be highly dangerous to humans. We have had a lot of recent shark activity here on the east Australian coast. There have been 4 shark “attacks” in the last month, 3 that were tragically fatal. All were physically close to my home. I have been diving offshore reefs consistently for the last 20 years, often spearfishing, and I have never had a “close call” encounter where I felt threatened by a shark. I see large sharks almost every time I go diving. So what are the factors that contribute to attacks on humans? Understanding shark behaviour is key- sharks are opportunistic predators, using incredibly sensitive electro receptors to detect potential food sources.firstly I don’t believe humans are seen as a good food source . The evidence for this is that consumption of a human victim is extremely rare, almost all attacks are a mistake, sharks sample bite to assess if we are edible then are most often rejected. Unfortunately for us a sample bite can be devastating and victims can die from rapid blood loss. How do you minimise the risk of being a shark” mistake”? Stay out of murky water, don’t surf/swim in river/harbour entrances. Avoid areas with large “bait balls” that attract large predators. Dusk/ dawn are hunting time so stay out of the water. And trust your instincts, gut feelings should be listened too. I love sharks, they are miracle of evolutionary perfection and an essential element of healthy oceans. Be safe out there and enjoy the water!!❤️🦈🦈🦈

I woke up to the sight of whales, their warm breath creating a perfect plume in the still morning air ... so blessed to see this while I fill the kettle for a morning cuppa 🙏 I don’t have a telephoto lens so I can’t share the moment with you. Here’s a playful calf to wish you good morning and a magical day ☀️
