This is the moment a young Spanish diver comes across a Wobbegong shark during her documented travels in Australia.

Claudia Argemi Danti, 24, visited Australia in March 2020, but the global pandemic halted her plans to return to Spain and she ends up turning the experience into an ongoing adventure she shares online for her growing army of followers.

She told Newsflash: “I moved in March 2020, just before COVID (literally). The day after I arrived they started to ask people to self quarantine if they were coming from overseas. So yes, I just had a week of ‘normality’ and after that, we all know happened.”

Claudia said that when things started to lockdown, she bought a car with a guy that she hardly knew in order to escape the city, and set off with the last of her savings to try and find somewhere to wait it out.

She described it as the most challenging experience of her life saying: “Now it is obvious we took the best decision we could ever make, but at the time, no one knew what was going to happen and that was probably the riskiest decision.”

As places to be stranded go, the young woman, known as ‘Clotchi’ to her friends, is not complaining about being left living on Lady Elliot Island, which is in the ‘Green Zone’ of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

It is regarded as one of the best places to set off to study the amazing underwater landscape.

The Great Barrier Reef is the biggest coral reef system in the world, stretching 1,400 miles off the eastern coast of the island of Queensland in Australia where Claudia lives and works as a barista for tourists.

The young woman, who trained as a primary school teacher, is originally from Bigues i Riells in the Spanish province of Barcelona and when not working devotes her time to capturing images of the amazing places she visits.

In a conversation with Newsflash, she said: “In my family, travelling is a big thing, we used to do a family trip every year. When I finished Uni, I just felt that I had so much to see, so I decided to start travelling.”

Since moving to the island, Claudia has dedicated a lot of time to exploring and capturing some of its stunning natural landscape.

One video, which she posted in June, shows a beautiful Wobbegong shark, which can grow up to 10.5 feet in length, swimming along the seabed.

She said :”They are very good at camouflaging!”

Claudia said the shark “wasn’t dangerous”, however some Wobbegong sharks have been known to attack people.

She added: “One of the most important things that I’ve learned on this island is that most of the sharks are not dangerous by themselves.

“Always respect but don’t be afraid.”
