The oceans are considered one of the last places on Earth that remain truly unexplored. Some of the deepest places on Earth almost seem like other worlds, with creatures clinging to life there next to volcanic vents. In the shallows, life is abundant and creates scenic views like those from a travel postcard.
Taking photographs underwater, however, is not as easy as it sounds. Aside from just having waterproof equipment, you also have to manage exposure and lighting, which can be tricky with the sun shining through the water. Of course, if you are taking pictures of the deep ocean, you also have to worry about pressure and, of course, predators.
Here’s 30 amazing underwater photographs to inspire you to get out there and explore the oceans (or maybe just your aquarium).
