The lakes, seas and oceans on Earth are full of diverse and strange creatures unlike anything else on the planet. Life has adapted for survival, and this includes techniques such as camouflage, barbs, defense mechanisms, swimming in schools and other techniques.
Because of these different adaptations, marine life can both look and act quite strange. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to see, both due to the difficulty of seeing and photographing underwater, but also because like most animals, marine animals tend to flee from human presence.
However, for the lucky photographer, the results from a marine life photography shoot can be quite spectacular:
