Ken O’Sullivan is a documentary filmmaker, underwater cameraman and ocean conservationist who lives in Lahinch, Co Clare.

'In 2016, after 10 years spent searching, we found basking sharks in courtship, off Clare. And it was the first time they’d been documented or filmed anywhere. It was a group of 35 basking sharks. We couldn’t find whales, so I said, here’s a few basking sharks, I’ll have a look at this. And when I got in, it was just this endless circle. They were three deep with an even mix of males and females.

'It was a courtship ritual, a torus. I was on the fringe of it when I was filming it. I’m terrified – 100 metres of water. A torus is an ­energy. It’s pretty terrifying.'
