His pictures have proved so mesmerising that he's managed to clock up 70,000 followers on Instagram.

Draper's work showcases his encounters with great white, tiger and hammerhead sharks, humpback and pilot whales, common and bottlenose dolphins, seals, turtles and manta rays - all captured while holding his breath.

Draper told MailOnline Travel: 'Ever since I can remember I’ve had a fascination with the ocean.

'I have always wanted to capture dramatic scenes from the ocean that encourage a certain emotion.'

The explorer said this location provides the perfect chance to capture some of the ocean's most feared creatures in their natural habitat.

Draper posted this image of a great white shark on his Instagram page with the caption: 'I probably could have got a little bit closer...'

This incredible image shows spinner dolphins in Oahu, Hawaii. According to Draper they were synchronising their breathing pattern while resting off the coast

Draper said that spreading awareness about environmental issues and replacing a fear of the ocean with fascination, are his top priorities
