British macro category runner-up Planktonic Predator by George Stoyle (UK)Location: North Rona, UK‘We had come to the end of a dive inside a cave, just before we reached the surface we noticed an unusual amount of zooplankton which had become trapped inside the cave entrance. We then spotted a couple of tiny, post-larval monkfish feeding on the plankton, something none of us had ever seen. Getting an in-focus shot with my macro lens was easier said than done with prevailing swell, but I managed

Macro category winner A Family Affair by Thomas Heckmann (Germany) Location: Tugboat, Curacao‘I was unable to descend ... so my only possibility was a shot from the surface. It was too rough for a normal over/under shot. I decided to try a wave and wreck shot with the island of Curacao in the background. I needed several tries to compose the wreck, the wave and the island in one shot. But at the end I got this real over/under shot with a total other view of the famous wreck.’

Behaviour category runner upWhat Feed Beneath by Alejandro Prieto (Mexico)‘I entered the cold November water to photograph a pair of humpback whales ... swimming back to the boat I saw a small moving object in front of me; it was a Hawaiian petrel submerging its head to feed on the tiny crustaceans. Under normal circumstances as you get close it will fly away, but surprisingly instead of this it just kept feeding in front of me. By approaching very slowly I was able to get close from beneath, th

Behaviour category winner Turtle eating Jellyfish by Richard Carey (Thailand) Location: Similan Islands, Thailand‘After an early morning dive in the Similan Islands ... a green turtle surfaced near our boat. I decided to get in and snorkel with it ... soon it spotted a large mosaic jellyfish ... dived down and started feeding on it. The turtle obviously wanted to keep the jelly close to the surface so every time it swam deeper the turtle would bite onto it and drag it back upwards. I spent a few

I really like the SS Thistlegorm and can not get enough of this beautiful wreck. What makes the wreck so unique is the great opportunity to create stunning wreck images, especially if you add one or more off camera strobes to create more depth in the image. For lighting, my buddy and I placed the 3 off camera strobes, one strobe in each truck and a torch in the engine compartment in the first truck. I could easily spend many dives entirely inside this captivating wreck.

British underwater photographer of the year - winner. Winner, British macro category. Catshark Supernova by Dan Bolt (UK) Location: Thurlestone, Devon‘Just off a headland in this beautiful bay is a reef system favoured as a laying ground for the eggs, or ‘mermaids purse’ of the smallspotted catshark. The day I chose to visit the reef I came across many egg cases wrapped tightly into the weed. Positioning my strobe carefully took some time but the resulting image, with the low-visibility providin

Macro category runner-upPelagic Octopus at Night by Helen Brierley (US)Location: Kona, Hawaii ‘Suspended in the inky blackness of the open ocean where the water is thousands of feet deep, a myriad of weird and wonderful creatures came into view in the narrow focus light beam. They were making their nightly journey towards the surface to feed. Using our lights to help locate their prey ... I was able to take several shots of this tiny octopus as he drifted by, but he disappeared again into the da

Wide-angle runner-up Mangrove sunset by Fabio Galbiati (Italy)Location: Bangka island, Indonesia.‘On the first days of my trip, the bad weather prevented us from diving. So we took advantage of the pristine mangrove nearby. It was a big surprise because there were so many subjects everywhere and the light effects produced by the sun and mangroves were beautiful. I decided to make a shot at sunset, and after a long search I found the right root with this nudibranch intent on feeding. After framin
