Yesterday's dive in #newquay The prawn has a compound eye with visual units (ommatidia) connecting to the optic nerve. Overlying the ommatidia is the cuticle with is modified to act as a cornea and is thickened to form numerous square facets. These eyes have neither distant nor sharp vision but they do detect movement and has a 360 degree coverage. For all that complexity, all I ever see are a couple of tiny disco balls. #prawn #freedive #snorkel #newquay #cornwall #oceanlife

Diving with whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) is a bucket list activity for most nature lovers, and Ningaloo Reef is the ideal place to dive deep with these incredible creatures.

Travelling with Australian Geographic Travel on a small-group tour offers an opportunity to explore the entire 6045sq.km of the World Heritage Area and marvel at wonders, both terrestrial and marine.

How mesmerising it is to watch this whale shark (Rhincodon typus) descend into the ocean’s depths with some remora (Remora remora) on its tail. 🐋

There’s a surprising amount we don’t know about whale sharks even though they’ve captured the world’s imagination, and swimming with them has catapulted them to the top of many people’s bucket lists.
