Underwater photographers submitted their best images in Sport Diver's January 2018 Underwater Photo Contest. Congrats to our winner Rick Koontz, who took this month's top prize with a mesmerizing anemone and clownfish photo he took on a dive trip to the Maldives. Koontz won a dive bag set from Gili Bags.
Here's a look at the winning photo and some of the entries that also blew us away this month.
