Whale Sharks The Biggest Fish on Earth (Rhincodon typus) An adult is bigger than a bus (up to 20 metres long) and can weigh 20 tonnes, but the biggest fish in the sea – and the biggest non-cetacean creature on Earth – is a gentle giant who appears not to care about a gaggle of…

The Ningaloo Reef: where giant sharks of the blue come to feast on the tinniest of life. Where humpback whales sing and play, throwing their gigantic selves to the skies, only to crash back down to sea, making waves. Where black and white predators thrive, and turtles’ nest, tigers of the sea prowl, and dolphins…

Within the aquatic realm, I often try to measure an animal’s intelligence with the curiosity which it displays. The more curious an animal, the more “brains” it has. As fish go, manta rays are certainly the intellectuals of the Ningaloo Reef. Pound for pound, they boast the largest brain of any elasmobranch or bony fish,…

Charismatic Clownfish Anemonefish are fiery personalities, defending their homes with aggression which far surpasses their size. No intruder is too big for the hearty “clownfish”, and they are loved by divers and photographers for their animated, territorial displays. It’s probably for this reason that they were chosen to star in the Disney Pixar Blockbuster: “Finding Nemo”. On…

“Let’s go to the dog park,” said the most beautiful Brazilian-born spirit you will ever know. Vee is our blog feature for the week. She’s a tremendous photographer and videographer, founder of Blue Media Exmouth. Vee’s blog finishes our Exmouth wedding collective feature. Describing Vee isn’t hard – she defines ‘warm hug.’ We had been trying to get together…

He’s an interesting character if you spend the time to listen. Mystified by his…

Geez oh, peats! The past few weeks have FLOWN. I’ve blinked, and they have disappeared. Murray, myself and the crew are now in full swing swimming with whale sharks and all the other critters the Ningaloo Reef has on offer lately, even seeing orcas! The Ningaloo Reef is turning it on lately, and it’s been…

Chris Jansen is one of our photographers for the whale shark season. Our season is about to start, EKEKEKEKEKKKKKKK on the 26 March and it seemed fitting to highlight the Live Ningaloo crew for anyone interested. When I asked Chris how he came here – I received a chronological account from when he met Kerry, his…

When Murray first told me about Exmouth and the Ningaloo Reef, one of the memories retold with special warmth was when he stayed up all night to see turtles hatch. Being originally from the Northwest of America, I likened the experience to the bald eagle hatchlings, but that isn’t something you can see up close…
