31 Inspirational Underwater Images
An underwater camera or deep sea camera equipment captures photos of the amazing creatures that live beneath the surface of the water. This collection shows land dwellers, sea life and other sometimes odd creatures that penetrate the wet sanctuary boundaries. The idea is always to see what’s under there and how much imagination we can use while shooting fish, organisms and ourselves.

Title says 3 but I think there’s about 30 pictures posted. Hmmm

There’s a typo — there are more than three photos.
I bought an underwater film camera last summer and really enjoyed playing with it. It somehow feels like magic.

Maybe, it will be interesting for you to look at my freediving underwater pictures on http://www.SergeyOrlovPhoto.com
Looks like a site advertising, but it is not – I really like both freediving and photography

As an experienced diver I can say that there are some superb shots here ; Tony Frissell, Bubbletip and especially ‘Sushi’ is fantastic, however there are quite a few distinctly average shots that any diver with a P&S (or non-diver at an aquarium) could have shot. I expected better from the title.

Some great shots, the Tony Frissell one is inspired, but I have to agree with Kevin, there are a fair few average ones and a couple look like there has been manipulation of the crtitters which is a big no-no where it comes to marine photograhy. Also the last picture is an eagle ray, not a sting ray
Anyways, some of my own here

but no claims about them being inspirational, they’re equally open to criticism, I just enjoyed taking them

For underwater photography, besides the camera you’ll need a housing to protect it from the water and keep it at atmospheric pressure so the buttons continue to work. Some cameras allow their built in flash to be used but to get decent control of the lighting you’re best advised to invest in an external strobe, plus the arms and a baseplate to attach them to the housing.
For information on what housings are available for your camera check out http://www.digideep.com

The “Crab sitting on a net” to me looks like a squat lobster sitting on a diver’s glove – a big no-no!!
