The Waterworld - Werner Thiele KG group, experienced a rare and magical whale encounter in Kwatisore Bay (South Cenderawasih Bay).
Spotting a whale underwater is always special, but identifying the exact species requires a sharp eye. Thanks to the expert team at Oceanic Society, the gentle giant was quickly confirmed as a magnificent Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus).
Unfazed by swimmers and the underwater camera, the whale seemed exceptionally calm and relaxed, even performing a quick quarter-roll, which is wonderfully curious and playful behavior for such a giant.

14 July - Shark Awareness Day

Sharks have roamed our oceans for more than 400 million years, playing an essential role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems.

This year, we celebrate the recently described Dudgeon's Walking Shark (Hemiscyllium dudgeonae), one of the remarkable epaulette sharks. Until recently, science recognized nine species of walking sharks. The addition of Hemiscyllium dudgeonae brings that number to ten.

Reaching around one metre in length, these nocturnal sharks use their muscular fins to "walk" across the seafloor and even over exposed reef flats at low tide. As night falls, they forage for crabs, shrimp, worms, and small fish hidden among the coral.

Read more about this fascinating discovery here: https://www.sci.news/biology/hemiscyllium-dudgeonae-14849.html

Here in the Coral Triangle, walking sharks are just one of the many extraordinary species that remind us how much there is still to discover beneath the surface.

This Shark Awareness Day, we celebrate these remarkable animals and the vital role they play in keeping our oceans healthy.
