A glimpse of the wonders underwater

THE mysterious world beneath the waves is a continuing source of fascination which, through the use of ever-improving technology, is giving up more of its secrets.

It is through photography that those of us who choose to remain above water can really get a glimpse of the wonders of the deep.

As well as being informative, many TV documentaries are often dramatic and the fruit of imaginative camera work. But, still photographs have a different type of appeal — spectacular, moody, haunting and telling a lot while still conveying a sense of mystery.
