It was nice to finally get into my dive gear and enjoy the reefs and coral of Atauro which I believe the coral reefs are the most biodiverse in the world whereby a study in 2016 recorded a higher fish diversity anywhere in the world - more than 4500 fish species, even comparable to Raja Ampat in Indonesia.

Enroute to Atauro Island for a day of free diving and scuba we came across a scattered pod of Sperm Whales, in total approx. 15-18 in mixed groups, Adults, Mum and Calf etc. We decided to abort the scuba day trip and remain with the Sperm Whales and snorkelled with them for approx 3hrs. This video is snap version of the day.

Hey, come with me to experience my amazing moment I swam with Pygmy Blue Whales in the Wetar Strait in Timor Leste. This is a fantastic compilation of my confronting head on swim by of Mum & Calf by Drone, Photo and video.

We were soooo lucky to witness and share in this moment to see mum & calf casually swimming in and around the shallows of the Ningaloo Reef. Although not seen here we watched them for 15-20min each time as they surfaced, and it seemed to be a teaching moment where mum was showing calf how to surface, dive and search in and around the bommies.

An unexpected pleasure to have this majestic manta ray cruise around and chill with us on the dive, a truely amazing moment that I am super glad I captured on GoPro. Especially love the yellow colorful pilot fish around the terminal mouth of the Manta

My 1st ever sighting of a cowtail stingray on a dive descent. We all slowly and carefully approached to lengthen our time and sighting of this wonderful creature......how gorgeous to witness.
