There are a host of amazing things to see beneath the sea – as photographer David Fleetham’s stunning images prove. Documenting life beneath the waves, David’s images show the startling variety of life that can be found in the world’s oceans. From the weird and wonderful to the cute or fearsome, a whole other world lurks just beneath the surface. Photographing underwater scenes since 1976, David has captured on film the creatures that populate everywhere from the Pacific Ocean to the Red Sea.

David lives on Maui with his wife Denise and son Sean and has been in Hawaii for over eighteen years. Read the rest of this entry →
