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.

Decided to experiment with colour and types of shading/blending yesterday at the tattoo studio, and it was SO much fun! Though in hindsight, I probably should have decided on if I was going to colour it before I lined it lol.

First up, a strawberry whale shark!! Just a happy lil big guy!! I might draw up a proper version of them as a flash piece, this was freehand for today.
