The Neptune Islands south of Port Lincoln in South Australia are among the best places in the world to see great white sharks. On this trip we were lucky enough to also dive with the Australian sea lions in the crystal clear waters of Grindal Island (on route to the Neptune Islands).

I first visited Wilson Island 35 years ago when i was 7 (children are no longer permitted on the island). Even as a child it had a big impact on me.

Another wonderful trip to the Bahamas to see the Atlantic spotted dolphins and bottlenose dolphins. It’s one of the few trips where the subjects seek out interactions with you, with some dolphins even nudging you or brushing you with their pectoral fins.

In June and July every year whale sharks congregate in massive numbers off the coast of Mexico to feed on bonito eggs.

Thank you to Australian Geographic for featuring my great white shark image on the cover of the March 2018 issue.

Leafy seadragons can be found year-round at Rapid Bay, only 90 minutes drive from the city of Adelaide in South Australia.

Bimini is the western-most island of the Bahamas, only 80km (~50 miles) off the coast of Miami. It’s the best place in the world for close encounters with the endangered great hammerhead shark.

Rangiroa Lagoon is part of the Tuamotu Islands to the North of French Polynesia. The Lagoon is the 2nd largest atoll in the world. The tide rushes in and out of the lagoon through two straits, creating aggregation points for large fish.
