39 unbelievable underwater pictures that will blow your mind

Wed, Jul 22, 2009

Post filled in: Feature Post, Great Pics, Oceanography

First of all, I don’t know for sure if any of these are shopped in any way; underwater photography is really really different and personally I don’t know anybody who could sort me out with this, so if you’re sure some of these are fake, please let me know (also, if you know anything about that huge medusa, it would be really great if you shared). If you know of other such photographs, do share them with others.

    Thanks for the Love!

    Beautiful! I’ve seen a few of those before, but not most of them. The right whale near the bottom with a diver is from National Geographic, I think.

    As the giant medusa, I think the perspective is off, but it’s probably a Nomura’s jellyfish. From Nat. Geographic: “Since last summer, Japanese waters have been inundated with the massive sea creatures, which can grow 6.5 feet (2 meters) wide and weigh up to 450 pounds (220 kilograms).” Wowza!

    Thanks for gathering these!

  3. Justin Says:

    I liked the almost see through fish!

  5. Mandi Leman Says:

  6. Steve Says:

    That Nomura pic is a known fake circulating the webs, but otherwise the pics are cool.

  7. Adam Says:

    Justin…you disappoint me.

    A famous Douglas Adams quote comes to mind…

  8. shane Says:

    it’s too bad we have put so much mercury in the oceans, that a lot of marine wildlife is in danger. :/

  9. Lucullan Raishou Says:

    Man, those see through animals are simply too beautiful. Marine wild life is amazing.

  10. Adrenalin Says:

    Since you asked about the medusae, search for “Tioman giant jellyfish” in YouTube to see them float.

  11. johnung Says:

    These are excellent photographs and that is why I love the Ocean.
    I am packing my bags and going for a dive now.

    Pic #12 looks rather like a macro of a strawberry to me…
