Scuba Diving Magazine’s 2019 Underwater Photo Contest Winners

The photographers who submitted to Scuba Diving’s 2019 underwater photo contest blew our judges away, entering what we believe is among the best underwater photos of the year.

This was on the second day of cage diving along the coast of Guadalupe Island in Mexico. There had not been much action since the morning, but staying as long as possible in the cold water finally paid off when a huge 17-foot great white shark showed up. It came to check the tuna bait, then disappeared in the deep. Using the proper hunting behavior of the great whites, it came up at full speed and breached to get the tuna. It went so fast that I almost didn’t see it coming, giving me just enough time to adjust my framing as it entered the water with jaws wide open in a massive splash, creating all these bubbles around it.
During a black-water dive in Lembeh, I noticed this juvenile jackfish swimming around a box jellyfish at about 30 feet. Many juvenile fish species hide inside jellyfish for protection. To take this shot, I had to wait for the right moment when the fish was looking at me through the jellyfish.

The top prize went to Australian photographer Jim Picot for a stunning shot of a school of salmon spontaneously forming the shape of a love heart, as a shark moves through its center.
