9 Amazing Over/Under Shots From the 2017 Through Your Lens Photo Contest
Judging the Through Your Lens photo contest is one of our favorite parts of the year at Scuba Diving — but it’s also one of the most challenging. For the 2017 contest, we sifted through more than 2,500 awesome entries to find the best of the best in underwater photography. We wanted to highlight some of our favorite images that didn’t make the winner’s circle, but that blew us away nonetheless. Over/under photos capture the best of both worlds: terrestrial and aquatic. Here are our favorite split shots from the 2017 contest.
