2nd place Adventure Photographer of the Year
Tom St George Mexico
"Safety, conservation and team diving are integral to cave diving, and cave diving photography is no different," says photographer Tom St George. "It is very much a team effort. Featured in this photograph is Ellen Cuylaerts, who hovers motionless and awestruck after passing through a series of small passages and emerging to a view of these gigantic formations, that took millennia to form, and that she is seeing for the first time!"
