Images from the Ocean Photographer of the Year awards are on display, with two Australians among the winners for the first time.
About a hundred photographs, selected from more than 15,000 entries, have gone on show at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney.
The overall winner of the award is Indonesia-based photographer Yury Ivanov, with a macro-lens picture of amphipods, which are known as the ladybugs of the sea.
The tiny crustaceans only measure about three millimetres long, and it took Ivanov six dives to capture the winning shot at a depth of 19 metres.
Australian wildlife photographer Craig Parry won the human connection category with a drone image of a 15-hour effort to rescue a stranded humpback whale on a NSW beach, which ultimately could not be saved.
