    As Lewis Pugh, UN Patron of the Oceans wrote in his forward to the UPY yearbook:

    Technology makes us amphibious. It allows us to enter an element that seems alien, but without which all life on Earth would perish.

    Many of the images collected here play on the meniscus between two worlds: the one above and the one below the surface. Some bring you face to face with astonishing creatures; others lend us a fish-eyed view of their world, and make us feel part of something vast and mysterious.
