What’s next?

Time to swap the khaki shorts and binoculars for diving suit and swimming goggles in pursuit of five other giants in Asia-Pacific.

Found in the oceans of Australia and islands further afield are some of world’s most iconic endangered marine species: the white shark, green turtle, the humpback whale,whale shark and the Australian sea lion.

As I discovered, swimming alongside them can be a life-altering experience, albeit one fraught with difficulties.

But it’s worth the effort.
