Mesmerizing. I don’t dive, but two of my brothers do. I’ll have to share with them. They’ve seen some stunning sights and appreciate all creatures.

All of these are amazing but I have to say I’m partial to the Humpback whale photo. 🐋 Living in Monterey, CA, brought out my love for them. I’d always see them breaching off the coast during my walks.

A great choice, it's the winner for a reason! I've never seen a humpback breach but I would really love to.

Thankyou. I see many of them when I’m underwater with my friends & we’re always very careful. We’ve even encountered some very friendly grey nurse sharks just off the coast of Australia near where I live.

How lucky! I've never done much diving but those wildlife encounters sound incredible.

They sure are. I’ve been diving for just over 6 years now & only ever took it up to help overcome a fear of sharks, which I’ve since done. Swimming with seals, dolphins, turtles & even the monster-sized whale sharks has been a bonus 👍😁

That's amazing to hear as someone who is still currently terrified of sharks! I suppose seeing them in their natural environment must take away a lot of the stereotype?

It sure does, especially if & when you apply the “best way to overcome fears is to face them head on” type of thinking ☝️😄. Yes, I know it sounds insane, but in my case, it worked 👍😌

I think the octopus/jellyfish is my favorite.
