The Underwater Project

There have been many great shots of surfers riding the waves, but it's much rarer to see the world beneath the waves. Check out the photography works of Mark Tipple, an Australian documentary photographer who captured the wonderful world of underwater photography in his new series "The Underwater Project".

Rays of sunlight bursts through the water in a spectacular fashion, creating a luminous cloud within the water, as the surfers lay suspended in motion while the waves roll above. The surreal scenes are captured brilliantly by Mark Tipple, who happens to be an avid surfer himself. Check out his stunning works of underwater paradise below...
