Reaching out (but no touching was involved) is a human reaction to such immense beauty and power. P.S. You've got no hope of touching a wild dolphin even if you wanted to. .....Just saying..... #wilddolphin #reachingout #wantto #dolphin #oceanlove

My fave ocean wanderer- the whale shark. These travellers circumnavigate the oceans constantly- blowing with the currents, filter feeders of note. #traveltuesday #whaleshark #travelling #oceanlove #travellers #underwaterphotography #photoleap #madeinphotoleap

It's #WisdomWednesday. I'm most often asked where my favourite dive spot is. This is potentially a difficult ?; however, the simple truth is that my fave spot is ANYWHERE that I'm underwater. #truth #simpletruth #underwaterphotography #underwaterworld #oceans

Some people refer to Wednesday as #humpday. I prefer #wondrousWednesday, to reflect on the world surrounding us. For me, that is underwater. loom.ly/iTgeje0 #givethanks #gratitude #thanks #reflect #middleoftheweek #underwater #underwaterphotography #underwaterworld

It's Grammar Day today. As it's a personal fave, I cannot resist posting at least something about grammar..... a small relief from all the underwater stuff. We don't write much under there! #grammar #nationalgrammarday

It's women's day. A special day in a special month dedicated to my ocean sisters, and so just for today, I'm not choosing just one. My apologies to those I don't mention- there are just too many of you wonder-women! #wonderwoman #oceanlife #women #incrediblewomen #womensday

Today I've chosen gorgeous over-achiever Olivia Taylor as my ocean heroine! Liv's one to watch. I was once lucky enough to capture Liv underwater. I'm looking forward to following her career. youtube.com/watch?v=hJYDUZ… #Conservation, #ZeroWasteliving #womenshistorymonth

Debbie Mather-Pike is a mermaid. I've chosen Debs as her love for the ocean is addictive and infectious, rubbing off on many young mermaids. #instalove #debbie #scuba #mermaid #womenshistorymonth

Multi-award-winning, multi-degree holding, Dr Judy Mann-Lang is the Executive for Strategic Projects at the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town. The resilience of the ocean and the incredible people who work tirelessly to care for the ocean – in so many different ways, inspire her.
