The Underwater Project
Escape. A young man stretches out to avoid the wave breaking above at Coogee Beach, Sydney. “The first from the underwater series, we were all caught inside by a set. Almost subconsciously, I turned the camera on the swimmers, and it turned out to be a good thing. The next wave punished me and ripped the leash off my wrist, sending the housing into the shorey somewhere - by the time I retrieved it, the swimmers had bailed, and I never got his name."

2011 was an amazing year. These photos are just a sampling of a few of our favorites from past galleries. Submitted by some of the most talented photographers on the planet, each of these images catches a certain moment that is forever gone, but won’t be forgotten. Much like 2011. We’d like to say thanks to everyone that contributes to, reads, or even thinks about The Inertia. We’ve established a wonderfully diverse community of ocean lovers here, and we’re excited for what the New Year brings.
So from all of us at The Inertia, here’s to looking forward to 2012 – hopefully the Mayans are wrong.
