With his crisp, clean photos of whales, seals, penguins, and dolphins, ex-Navy photographer Bill Curtsinger helped the National Geographic Society pioneer the field of underwater marine life photography with stunning pictures such as this shot of an emperor penguin gliding through the waters of McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.

Sea Nettle, Arctic Ocean

Photograph by Emory Kristof
A leader and technical expert in deep-ocean photography, National Geographic photographer Emory Kristof pioneered the use of robot cameras and remotely operated vehicles, including the preliminary design for Argo, the submersible that found the Titanic. Kristof is known for bringing the technique and technology of shallow-water photography to the deep, introducing the world to such specimens as this ten-foot-long (three-meter-long) sea nettle found by a remotely operated vehicle in the Canada Basin, Arctic Ocean.

Sea Lions, Australia

Photograph by David Doubilet
Called "the Audubon of this century" for the variety and proficiency of his marine photography, photographer David Doubilet has mastered the use of light to produce what one National Geographic editor calls "customary superb Doubilet shots." Among them is this, a light-drenched photo of sea lions swimming in the waters of the Great Australian Bight in the Indian Ocean.



Jacques Cousteau

Photograph by Luis Marden
Legendary French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau examines a school of fish swimming past coral in the Indian Ocean. Together, Cousteau and photographer Marden pioneered the field of ocean exploration and photography. In 1956, Marden accompanied the legendary ocean explorer on a voyage from Toulon, France, to the Suez Canal aboard Cousteau's ship, Calypso. By journey’s end, Marden had 1,200 photographs, the largest collection of underwater color photographs ever taken.
