Stunning underwater shots of marine life around the world have been released in a 2010 calendar by a Kingston-based organisation.

Photos from 12 of the world’s most highly acclaimed underwater photographers, and commentary, feature in the calendar, which will raise money for Bite-Back, a shark and marine conservation organisation.

Among the images are a hawksbill turtle, captured by Alex Mustard in Egypt and a great white shark photographed in South Africa by Chris Fallows.

There is also a snap of a spotted moray, taken by Roger Munns in Borneo.

Bite-Back’s 2010 calendar can be ordered online for £7.99 at bite-back.com.
