Tang Jiongming If it weren't for the reefs and fish at the bottom of the sea, I really suspect it would be a sky filled with strong winds, but it is also more layered and tough than the raging clouds. The coordination of motion and stillness between the water surface and the seabed is excellent.

Enjoy the constantly changing scenes of the ocean. Every wave is unique and shows the ocean's strength and calm. Just as big waves consist of small ones, our lives are made of small moments that come together to tell a bigger story. See how calm moments can turn into big events, and remember: big changes start with small beginnings. The photo series was taken in Egypt during scuba dives.
