Welcome to British Marine Life Pictures, thank you for visiting.

The site contains 849 photographs that were all taken underwater in the seas of the British Isles, producing natural ‘in situ’ images.
The collection of images is a representation of what it is possible to see when snorkelling, scuba diving and to a certain extent rock pooling.
New photographs will continue to be added.

HELP! – Within the gallery there is a portfolio named ‘Identification Required’ – if you can help identify any of the animals please leave a note using the 'Identify or Correct' or 'Contact Me' pages. Thank you!

This website was created in November 2008.
