Pictures of underwater scenes always tend to capture our attention and ignite our imagination. Perhaps it's the apparent peace and serenity or perhaps it's the fact that the world below the waves is still so alien to us. We have devoted this section of the site to the majesty of the sea with an underwater photography gallery of pictures submitted by scuba divers from all around the world.
There is no doubt that underwater photography does not only capture the interest of scuba divers, but rather everyone who can appreciate the beauty of nature. Our underwater photography gallery is divided into a number of categories including pictures of fish, plants and scuba divers in action, as well as interesting underwater scenes and phenomena such as "blue holes". We encourage you to vote for and comment on the diving photos submitted by other scuba divers and inserts the most popular pictures into most viewed, most commented and top rated categories.
Anyone can take pictures underwater provided they have the right equipment. Canon and Nikon are just two of the big brand camera manufacturers that develop cameras and sundry underwater photography equipment for scuba divers to take pictures on diving expeditions.
In addition to the beautiful and unusual pictures submitted by scuba divers, we also have pictures of all our diving gear on sale so that shoppers can see exactly what the various items look like. These photos also help novice divers and all those with only a blooming interest in scuba diving get a feel for the basic gear that is needed on a dive, as well as all of the accessories that are nice to have.
Many scuba diving web sites and magazines hold annual underwater photography contests for professional and amateur scuba divers and photographers. For example, Underwater Photography.com, which claims to have the longest running underwater photography contest, hosts annual as well as monthly competitions. Monthly winners are automatically entered into the annual competition. Underwater photography can be a lucrative career choice with a number of scuba diving, marine and nature magazines clamouring to buy the best and most unusual pictures from divers.Start building a name for yourself as an underwater photo genius buy uploading your scuba diving pics to DiveTime's picture gallery, or simply visit the gallery to see some of the most interesting underwater sights brought to light.
We also have a special section for the best underwater photographers out there, this is known as our featured photographers gallery. Here we build up a gallery of images for each underwater photographer, allowing them to submit their best work and to show the world. We have already featured such underwater photography legends as Aaron Wong, Tanya G Burnett and Dany Weinberg.
