The winners of the 2016 Underwater Photographer of the Year Awards have been announced, and the beautiful yet eerie photos are amazing. The awards cover eight areas—wide angle, macro, wrecks, behavior, up & coming, British waters wide angle, British waters macro, and British waters compact. All of the photos are absolutely stunning, and some a bit scary (so many wrecks). See below for some of the photos, and check out all of the photos from the contest winners here.
