Instagram post 2202202206793750926_1607109448 Latte sea puppy coming in for a full on nose boop! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Australian sea lions only live in Western and Southern Australia. They are the RAREST sea lion species in the world with only 10-12,000 individuals estimated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They have a pretty broad diet including crustaceans, cephalopods, fish and even birds!? They can dive up to 300m apparently, but from my experience like to nap and sunbathe (haul out) a LOT. #australia #westernaustralia #sealion #sealions #sealionpup #australiansealion #noseboop #seapuppy #olympusem1 #nauticam #pinniped #pinnipedsofinstagram #wildlifeig #marinephotography #underwaterphotography @turquoisesafaris

Yes, I'm THAT person on a dive.....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #frogfish #masterofdisguise #camoflague #uglypretty #underwaterlife #underwaterphotography #diveindonesia #underwaterworld #naturelovers #underwatermacrophotography #underwatershots #nauticam #bali #balidiving #diveindonesia #diveindo #uwphotography #backscatter #waterlust #divetheworld #reefdiving #bucketlistdive #nobluenogreen #tropicalfish #frogfishfriday #wanderlust #divetravel #macro #macrophotography #ilovemacro #marinecritters ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @scubaseraya_resort

Instagram post 2110420325698539367_1607109448 Australian sea flap-flaps! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Each manta has a unique spot pattern on their belly so we can identify them. Sometimes they make it easy to snap some pictures by belly rolling in your face! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks to @motherofmantas and @ronniking for an epic day on the water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mantaray #mantarays #rays #coralbay #seaflapflap #megafauna #research #marineresearch #australia @marinemegafauna #westernaustralia #flaptastic #marinebiology #marinescience #marineconservation #endangeredspecies #endangeredanimals #fieldwork #conservation #raysneedlovetoo #whalesharks #sharkscience #wildlifeconservation #snorkelling #seeingspots
Instagram post 2109012679778973359_1607109448 The jazzyest of all rainbow fishes, the mandarinfish! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have wanted to see one of these dudes for YEARS. This one was super shy and hiding in some branching coral, so there was some mild stalking involved..... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you @scubajunkie_komodo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mandarinfish #underwaterlife #rainbowfish #underwaterphotography #diveindonesia #underwaterworld #naturelovers #underwatermacrophotography #underwatershots #nauticam #komodonationalpark #komodoislands #paditv #uwphotography #backscatter #water #ocean #waterlust #divetheworld #reefdiving #bucketlistdive #nobluenogreen #tropicalfish #fishes

Instagram post 2090179995090963372_1607109448 Where's the shrimp? . . . There she iiiiiiiiis! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is a whip coral shrimp. The Google tells me it's an Anker's Whip Coral Shrimp (Pontonides ankeri), but comment if you know for sure! The Google also tells me that they rarely leave their whip coral home, so once you've found them you're very likely to find them again in the same place. Great thing for an underwater photographer! They feed on parasites, algae and plankton all from their home - not bad at all my little friend..... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coralshrimp #divingbali #crustaceans #muckdiving #muckdivingtulumben #tulumbenbali @scubaseraya_resort #macrounderwater #macrounderwaterphotography #shrimpphotography #crustaceanphotography #nauticammacro @nauticamhousings @nauticam.images #whipcoral #baliunderwater #baliunderwaterphotogaphy #crustaceansofinstagram

Instagram post 2018348008932143148_1607109448 Every whale shark can be individually identified by the spot patterns on their sides. We upload our photos to the global database at www.whaleshark.org so we can track them all. There's now more than 10,000 whale sharks in the database!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's not just researchers who can do this, everyone can contribute their sightings! If you've seen whale shark, and got some good photos of their sides behind their gills go ahead and upload them! Then you can find out who it was! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #marinebiology #marinescience #marineconservation #endangeredspecies #endangeredanimals #fieldwork #conservation #whaleshark #whalesharks #sharkscience #sharkreseach #savesharks #wildlifeconservation #sharklove⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mafiaisland #mafia #snorkelling #sharkys #savesharks #helpsavesharks #sharksofinstagram #seeingspots
