·2024-4-7Replying to @julsss1324 their songs are described as hauntingly beautiful. Do you find them scary or beautiful? For me it’s peaceful. They remind me of elephants. 🐋🎶💙 @kaimanaoceansafari #whalesounds #whalesong #hawaii #ocean #deepwater #deepsea #thalassophobia #whales #humpbackwhales

·2023-1-24Approximately 100 million sharks are killed every year for their fins & meat & as bycatch. I’m so blessed that I get to see living, beautiful sharks all the time. Receiving these photos via text from @A.B Seas of the shark fins & shark fin soup in Thailand was a sad reminder of the reality for most sharks around the globe. They are worth more alive than dead as they are crucial for a healthy ocean ecosystem! 🦈🥺🙏🏼💙 #saynotosharkfinsoup #ocean #sharkdiving #savesharks #sharkdiver #tigershark #diving #hozier

·1d ago Snorkeling with the spunky sea lions of Mexico was the perfect dive to break out my @insta360_official X4!! The sea lions coming in hot from all directions would have been impossible to capture on a typical action cam. 🦭💙 Grab my code INRME6L and enjoy 15% off for Insta360 X4! #insta360 #insta360diving #sealion #mexico #snorkeling #sealions #seapuppies

·1d ago I haven’t forgotten about moon & I don’t want you to either. She traveled over 3,000 miles using only her pectoral fins as a result of a tragic ship strike. Ship strikes are a huge issue for whales & thousands of them occur each year. She is a representation of the perseverance of nature despite humanity’s impact. Hopefully, one day, we can learn to coexist more peacefully. 🐋🙏🏼💙 #whales #humpbackwhale #ocean #shipstrike #savethewhales

·2d ago This curious tiger shark is showing off her powerful jaw which has a bite force of approximately 1,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This is one of the strongest bites among shark species, but it is still less than the bite force of a great white shark, which can exceed 4,000 psi. This paired with their serrated teeth allow tiger sharks to bite through harder materials like a sea turtles shell. Don’t dive with sharks without a trained professional. #tigershark #savesharks #sharkdiver #sharkdiving #ocean

·3d ago By no means am I a perfect shark diver who’s never made a mistake. But kissing a tiger shark & purposely putting your face this close to a huge sharks mouth is just too negligent. As stewards for these amazing predators we need to treat them with respect as a wild animal. It’s important to show their beauty yes, but interact with them in a way that also shows their capabilities. Shark diving is an absolutely amazing activity that has proven to save sharks by replacing fishing them with tourism all around the world. But it needs to be done safely because they are potentially dangerous at any moment. If you want to dive with sharks please look around continuously, make eye contact with the shark, don’t splash or panic, wear a mask fins and snorkel, and go with trained professionals who have safety rules in place to keep you as safe as possible when in an unpredictable and uncontrollable environment. I hope we can all learn from this to do better as shark divers & ambassadors to sharks. 🦈🤙🏼 #tigershark #savesharks #predators #sharkdiving #sharksafety

·5d ago Swimming with Marlin is 100% more intimidating than swimming with sharks! They behave so much more erratic & swim at higher speeds! It was vital when observing a bait ball to not let the bait try to use you as protection. Would you ever do this? 🐟🤺 #marlin #fish #baitball #ocean #snorkeling #diving #magbay #mexico

·6d ago Roxy hasn’t been seen in years & with every passing Tiger season without her, the realization of her likely end sinks in. Sharks are wild animals & apex predators that are not affectionate or domesticated but they do have different demeanors. Roxy was a more gentle shark who represented natures perseverance through the negative human impacts she endured. Her broken jaw was likely cause by a fishing incident & I’ve seen her entangled with nets & other gear. Despite that she’s pushed on but I wouldn’t be surprised if a man made threat caused her passing. Though the sharks aren’t like our pets at home, we still become attached & I still try to hold onto hope that she’ll come back. 💙🦈🙏🏼 Roxy videos by @Saveliy Mankovskiy #roxythetigershark #savesharks #sharkdiver #sharkdiving #tigershark #ocean

·1-15I have truly appreciated & loved the moments I’ve gotten to spend with sting rays. The late & great Steve Irwin would never want us to fear these amazing creatures! They have a vital role in the ocean’s ecosystems as bottom dwellers & are very rarely dangerous. Have you ever gotten to meet a sting ray? 💙🌊🛸 #stingray #ocean #diving #snorkeling #belize #savestingrays

·1-14Shark attack vs human impact 🦈 sharks are responsible for around 10 unprovoked fatalities of humans per year worldwide while humans kill an estimated 100 million sharks annually. That paired with climate change, pollution, & other ecosystem disruptions makes humans the more dangerous threat by far. ❤️🩹 #tigershark #sharkdiving #sharkdiver #savesharks #ocean
