22.01.2022 A Green Sea Turtle swims across the sand flats of Coral Bay ~ ~ ~ Did you know it used to be legal under commercial licensing to hunt Sea Turtles on the Ningaloo Reef. Until the 1970's Turtles for hunted and their meat used for turtle soup in countries like China. Fortunately the trade has now ceased and Turtle populations have begun to flourish once again.

18.01.2022 @sophiahjortkjaer Swimming with a curious Leopard Shark on the Ningaloo Reef. What a treat! It's always such a privilege to be welcomed into the world other another animal.

16.01.2022 Manta ray coming through! A school of golden trevally swim ahead of a manta ray as it feeds on the shallow sand flats.

15.01.2022 There is alot more to Coral then meets the eye. Each Coral structure is made up of 1000's of what we call Coral Polyps (as seen in the photo above). Polyps are like stomachs with tiny mouths which sit on top of a hard skeleton that is part of the Reef. The polyps filter nutrients from the water and deposit calcium carbonate beneath them which allows them to slowly grow bigger. But it is the Corals unique relationship with a microscopic algae called Zooxanthellae that prov...ides them with most of their energy. Zooxanthellae live inside most Coral and use energy from the sun (like flowers) to photosynthesize and produce up 95% of the food Coral consume. They are also responsible for most of the colours we identify with Corals. The Coral in return provides a place for the Zooxanthellae to live, along with vital nutrients such as Carbon Dioxide, Phosphorous and Nitrogen. This is what we call a symbiotic relationship. And it is vital to the survival of most Coral Species. See more

11.01.2022 It's all about the crystal clear azure waters here in Australia's Coral Coast. Oh and let's not forget the fascinating marine life bustling in the warm waters..., like these underwater dancer Manta Rays. Ocean Collective Media captured the moment when Isobel, resident ballerina of Coral Bay , was ready for her close up. Get snorkelling in this paradise spot to meet her: https://bit.ly/2pWCb2V See more

09.01.2022 Up close and personal with a Giant Oceanic Manta Ray.

08.01.2022 Face to face with an oncoming Hammerhead Shark on the Ningaloo Reec. A moment to remember forever.

07.01.2022 The Ningaloo Reef in WA’s north-west is one of the world’s most diverse and healthy coral reefs. But as developers look to move into the area, there are concerns the reef’s very existence could be under threat. Judith Lucy headed out on the reef to check it out.

05.01.2022 Happy Whaleshark Day! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As Ocean Collective Media we owe so much to these magnificent creatures. For the past 3 years on the Ningaloo Reef they have allowed us to interact and photograph them regularly. To obtain even the smallest glimpse into the mysterious lives of the ocean biggest fish is truly a privilege and a time in our lives we will forever cherish.
