The Top Underwater Instagram Photos of the Week

Divers know that the ocean is full of amazing sights — that's why you can't keep us out of the water for long — and underwater photographers know how to display those wonders for the world to see. That's the beauty of Instagram: It allows photographers from across the world to share their photos with other water lovers. Each week, we'll display the "Top Posts" shared with the #SportDiverMag hashtag. Check out these awesome photos from Hawaii to the Galapagos.
