Pictures: 21 Amazing Underwater Pictures

Capturing the beauty of the world beneath the oceans is a challenge, but the rewards are worth it. The excitement comes not only from the idea of capturing an underwater scene on film or on a digital camera’s sensor, but also from being in a completely different environment.
Since it is a specialized area that relatively few photographers attempt, the opportunities for new and different images are many.
It is no surprise that underwater photography is a favorite pastime for scuba divers. The idea could have come from those few people that were able to experience the joys and beauty of underwater life and a desire to share that beauty with others.

Here are some beautiful underwater pictures; which might give you some inspiration, when you are going for your next adventure.
