From a mind-blowing image of a whale shark with its mouth full of fish to a bright blue octopus, these stunning photographs capture the wonder of the life in our oceans.

Scuba Diving Magazine has announced the winners of its annual Through Your Lens underwater photo contest and some incredible shots feature.

Evans Baudin was announced as the overall winner with his shot of a whale shark swimming off the coast of Baja California, Mexico, which appeared to be giving a free ride to around 50 remora fish.

Overall, the magazine judged 2,636 photos – the highest number ever submitted in the contest’s history – in four categories: behaviour, compact camera, maro and wide-angle.

Another equally impressive shot, which won first place in the compact camera category and was taken by Tobias Friedrich, was that of a multi-coloured wunderpus – a species of octopus – sitting on a palm leaf.

Others include a shot of a flamingo sticking its enormous beak into water and a crocodile lurking just below the surface of water in Cuba.

Check a selection of the images out for yourself below.

I had my eyes glued on the sponge, looking for hairy squat lobsters, and only after a while did I see this camouflaged guy moving away from my camera with a smile on his face!’
