The 2024 Ocean Photographer of the Year competition has unveiled its outstanding finalists, featuring a stunning collection of underwater photography. These captivating images range from a turtle gliding beneath the surface, perfectly reflecting in the water, to a diver navigating through the haunting remains of a shipwreck.
Each photograph highlights the breathtaking beauty and mystery of the ocean’s depths. With more than $12,898 (£10,000) in cash and prizes on the line, the competition, hosted by Oceanographic Magazine, will announce the overall winner and top category awards next month.
