Many photographers take good photos on dry land, some photographers take good photos under water, and few photographers take good over-under shots. What's the trick to mastering this elusive art? Scubadiving.com shares the following tips:
First, find compelling subjects above and below. Then, look for calm conditions with bright light and clear visibility (use a big glass dome!), and choose your point of focus. Finally, use a small aperture, a fast shutter speed and rapid fire.

I just kept gasping. I'm assuming these are actual scenes that you figured out how to capture and not photoshopping two photos. Whatever.....it's very, very creative.
Simply stunning. I now have such a love for underwater photagraphy!
It was interesting to see these mixed worlds together in one photo.
