A young calf swms over its mother, on August 21, 2014, in Tonga. An inquisitive newborn whale swims towards a photographer in the warm waters around Tonga in the Pacific Ocean. The young marine mammal, which could be as young as four days old, was spotted playing and swimming to the surface of the ocean carefully guarded by its mother. Fabrice Guerin, a 48-year-old wildlife photographer and art director from Paris, described the sighting as “magical”. (Photo by Fabrice Guerin/Barcroft Media)

The shots were taken by one of the world's leading underwater photographer and publisher of Alert Diver magazine Stephen Frink, (67) from Key Largo, Florida Keys when he took a trip to Cuba with his daughter Alexa (23) August 1, 2016. The eight-foot-long reptile opened its mouth, flashed a glimpse of its razor-sharp teeth and flexed its long, strong legs when the camera came within two inches of its mouth. In a bid to prove how impressive these fearsome hunters can be, the up-close images provide a close view of the large predator while the video shows the crocodile try to gobble up the camera.

A huge ten-foot long ocean sun fish dwarfed a British diver in this incredible set of underwater shots. The bizarrely shaped ninety-five stone fish, also known as a mola mola, made the diver look tiny as it got up close and personal but lucky for him, the fish isn't dangerous to humans. The snaps were taken by London photographer Stefan Follows, who has since relocated to Thailand, while he was on a trip to Bali. (Photo by Stefan Follows/Mediadrumworld.com)

Elusive blue sharks have recently been spotted off the south coast of England, having moved to the UKs warmer waters to hunt. The carnivorous sharks have been lurking off the coast of the popular British holiday destination, Penzance, in Cornwall. The sharks normally live in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so a sighting in the UK is unusual. Inspired by the uniqueness of the opportunity, Saeed Rashid, from Bournemouth, Dorset, set out with a group of friends to find the sharks. The group sailed ten miles out to sea from Penzance, as the sharks prefer the deeper waters and dont come much closer to land than that- so it might still be safe for a paddle.

One of the four divers photographing the sperm whale in waters off the Island of Dominica. A group of divers received an unexpected surprise when they were suddenly engulfed by a giant underwater poo cloud. Created by a rather inconsiderate sperm whale, the revolting images show the unlucky bunch being completely submerged by a heavy brown mist. Described as a poonado by Canadian photographer, Keri Wilk, 30, the peculiar behaviour is thought to have been evidence of a rarely seen defence mechanism. (Photo by Keri Wilk/Caters News)
