The oceans are still one of the most mysterious places on our planet. Whether it’s the depths of the ocean, where light is scarce and the only life huddles around hydrothermal vents, or it’s the beautiful coral reefs where life is colorful and abundant, underwater environments never cease to amaze us. Because of this, underwater photography is a very popular and growing aspect of digital photography, used both for biology, traditional photography, and advertising.
This post showcases 65 absolutely amazing underwater photographs captured by some of the most talented photographers around the world. The beauty of these underwater photographs will leave you in a state of awe at the beauty of Earth.
Enjoy the photographs, and be sure to visit each photographer’s page (linked to in the photograph)! Thanks, and have a great day.

Awesome collection of underwater photography. Some photos have been shot in amazing angles. The vibrant colors are beautiful too.
Amazing photos, but the one with the baby underwater screams “no!!” to me on every level! Aaah! Freaks me out.
Beautiful photos, though. Makes me want to take up underwater photography. 🙂

This thought just kept popping up in my head, “What is a white tiger doing underwater?!” hahaha! really great image too being all ferocious…..so….what is that tiger doing underwater anyways?!? lol! Great photos!
These pictures are fantastic! So inspiring. It makes me want to drop what I’m doing and run outside and create beautiful photos.
