The Earth’s oceans are less explored than the vastness of space. We know what’s out there, but we don’t know the true depths of what lives in our oceans. But we’re about to reveal to you some of the mysteries that dwell beneath the surface. A few you may have heard of before, but many of these underwater animals have never been seen outside the realm of science. Get ready to gaze upon amazing sea creatures with superpower-like abilities. 

From the toothy grin of a crocodile to a pea-sized fish, some of the world’s best underwater photos have surfaced in a top contest.

More than 1,200 photos were entered for the 2021 UnderwaterPhotography.com contest in 10 categories, from macro photography to sharks.

The winner of the gold medal in the over/under category is this smiling crocodile in Cuba by Italian Massimo Giorgeta, captured in the Queen’s Garden, a protected area on an archipelago in the south of the island.
