Underwater Photography : The Beauty, Mystery and Fantasy of The Underwater World
Underwater Photography : The Beauty, Mystery and Fantasy of The Underwater World - Taking photos under water is one of the most challenging branches of photography because the underwater world has such strange optical properties and is rather taxing on the photographer himself.

Animals such as fish and marine mammals are the most common subjects, but photographers also pursue shipwrecks, submerged cave systems, underwater "landscapes", and portraits of fellow divers.
