The Divester Fivester: 360° Underwater Panoramas Galore
29 mar 2007 | Source: DiveSter

A long time ago, we pointed you to the incredible panorama shot inside Bali's Tulamben wreck. Created by stitching together more than a dozen images shot underwater -- and inside the wreck -- zooming around the pano is almost as cool as swimming around inside the wreck. Almost.

If you're looking for some more virtual dives, check out these cool panoramas:

Mal Yeo -- the same photographer who shot the Tulamben pano -- has created an amazing image from 75 feet below the surface at Halifax Park, Australia. Prepare to see LOTS of fish. Andreas Kampf has a series of 9 underwater panos that rival Yeo's in their beauty and artistic-ness. In my opinion, the Fesdu Wreck is especially gorgeous, but they're all worth investigating. Alexandra Albin has created a small but well-lit pano of a wreck dive off Catalina Island. Undersea features half a dozen effective underwater panos, including a nice one starring a cuttlefish. Scott Highton managed to capture a gorgeous over-under pano in a Florida spring.

Of course, as photographic equipment -- and photographers -- become more sophisticated, we'll probably see more underwater panos in the future. Dip your hand in a bucket of water, and it'll be just as relaxing as a dive trip. Almost.
