Mark Tipple took the stunning shots of swimmers and surfers emerging underwater engulfed in clouds of whitewater while being frequently rocked by the waves himself.
The 29-year-old captures the split second moments off the Australian coast and regularly gets beaten in the head by his 5kg, specially adapted camera for his troubles.
Mr Tipple, from Sydney, Australia, came up with the idea of photographing waves underwater after becoming frustrated with "normal" surf photography, and wanted to capture the moments from a different perspective.
He said: "During a flat spell in Sydney I shot a few small waves with people swimming off to the side.
"The results were pretty graphic and led to people swimming becoming the focus of the series, which was against my initial intention but looked great.

"Most of the people I photograph are just enjoying themselves at the beach and I ask them if they'd mind being in a picture.
"I tell them what I'm doing and show them a few photos and mostly they're amazed.
"Most of the time I come off worse than the people I'm shooting, generally I'm looking sidewards to track where they are in relation to where the wave is, and tend to pay more attention to them than the wave; which can rock me pretty hard.
"I'm pretty comfortable underwater from years of surfing, and can ride out the waves breaking overhead.
"Most of the credit has to be paid to the camera though, I'd be lying if I didn't say that most of the time I hold the shutter down and point in the general direction of the people.
