Behind the Shot: After going through a whole day scanning for whales, our pontoon was skilled with a supernatural experience with an inquisitive and intuitive mother and calf. As the mother floated at 30 feet, her curious calf would advance toward the surface to inhale, coming in near assess every one of us. A portion of my most loved photographs of marine life are shot from behind; here I endeavored to make a remarkable viewpoint by turning the picture over so the whale has all the earmarks of being coasting simply over the surface in full break. Narrating isn't constantly about the truth of what was seen — I trust the picture imparts to others may take on the enchanted world I end up in each time I plunge underneath the surface.

Behind the Shot: At a plunge site called South Lagoon, I saw a stone and-coral arrangement in a sandy zone. As I looked into an opening in the center, I saw one of the biggest and most curious monster moray eels (Gymnothorax javanicus) I had ever run over. I moved in carefully; as I did, the moray gazed straight into my focal point, not breaking contact for a minute. I was on edge not to push the creature, so I set aside the effort to gradually move nearer. I clicked a couple of shots as the eel kept on gazing and was elated when I saw the picture.

Behind the Shot: In 1999, the Jordanian Royal Ecological Society sank a M42 Duster against airplane tank near shore only north of Tala Bay, an ideal snorkel and plunge fascination. The disaster area got home to numerous occupants of the reef not long after its sinking — most extreme profundity at elevated tide is just 20 feet. I generally work with off-camera lighting since I think it gives a superior profundity to pictures than utilizing on-camera strobes.
#4 Wide-Angle Second Place, Karen Smith, Tulum, Mexico

Behind the Shot: Near Tulum lie various submerged cavern frameworks known as cenotes. The Pit is the most profound of these and is searched out by jumpers as a result of its excellent stone arrangements and separated light. Our jump began with the sun legitimately above. We plummeted into a hydrogen sulfide layer of breaking down trees at 100 feet, which can be seen beneath, and afterward up through a shallow halocline. As I rose, I saw freedivers rehearsing; inside 15 seconds and three shots, the two arranged consummately.

Behind the Shot: I was plunging at a site called TK3 in Lembeh Strait when I recognized this wonderful juvenile coconut octopus at around 40 feet — the most minor coconut octopus I had ever observed, around 2 inches in length. It was stowing away in a glass tube that was lying on the base, and it seemed as though it was simply standing by to be shot. I chose to utilize my make a plunge mix with a 8+ large scale focal point. I put the light on the correct side of the cylinder, and the impact was incredible, with just the infant octopus and the cylinder in center.

Behind the Shot: This grouper was sitting tight with its mouth open for the cleaner fish at a cleaning station. I lit the fish from the two sides with my flashes, permitting just a tad of light in the back to make a dark foundation.

Behind the Shot: The region around Bunaken Island, off North Sulawesi, Indonesia, is well known for its fantastic divider jumps. It was toward the finish of one of these plunges, on a deco stop, that I found this maroon clownfish. With its balances shuddering at a fast pace, initially it was hard for me to get my camera to center, particularly on the fine subtleties. With tolerance and a little karma, I had the option to get this shot, demonstrating its particular sparkling white bar, and giving the feeling that the fish is really flying.

Behind the Shot: I went over this coconut octopus while grime plunging; the animal splendidly presented, turning dark red and wrapping its arms up evenly. At last I would make a "home" for it with a little jug I discovered plunging the USS Baja California off Naples, Florida, to reference how these animals are frequently observed: in our ignored garbage.

Behind the Shot: This was captured in Prague in a 26-foot-profound pool secured by a major bit of dim texture. The picture is titled "What Matters Most Is How You See Yourself." It doesn't make a difference what others think; most significant is the thing that you think, how you see yourself. I utilized the water's surface as a mirror for the reflection and turned the picture by 90 degrees to make the impact of a lady before a mirror.
#10 Macro First Place, Cai Songda, Janao Bay, Anilao, Philippines

Behind the Shot: This shot reminds me how a seemingly exhausting night jump got one of my most essential ones. Climbing from almost 100 feet with nothing to appear, I was doing my security stop when I detected this blanket octopus. At that point, it flabbergasted me that all the fundamental components for an awesome shot appeared to meet up: Colors were dynamic, the reflections charming, and the octopus exceptionally helpful, as though pausing dramatically.

Behind the Shot: Occasionally, following overwhelming precipitation, tannic spillover recolored by rotting leaf litter enters Cenote Carwash, turning it a dynamic ruddy orange. This tannic water squares a great part of the sunlight, and the cenote gets darker than typical — it feels somewhat like jumping on Mars. Shot with surrounding light just, this picture required pushing the camera very hard — shooting practically all the way open, hauling the screen, and pushing the ISO to 6400. The low-light settings additionally help emphasize the shaft from the jumper's light.
