In the past, underwater photography was for the very experienced photographer with a rather large budget since it was such an obscure hobby. But now, most of the digital cameras that are available have an underwater housing dedicated to that specific camera at a very reasonable price. And scuba diving is becoming very popular as well. This means that more and more consumers will begin taking underwater photographs with their digital cameras.

In this inspirational showcase, we’ve collected some beautiful underwater pictures. All images are linked to the sources where they were found. Please feel free to explore further works of photographers showcased in this post.
