Alex Tipple, a 29 year old surfer from Sydney, Australia began photographing underwater wave breaks after becoming frustrated with "normal" surf photography.
"I'm pretty comfortable underwater from years of surfing, and can ride out the waves breaking overhead. The housing is about the size of a shoebox, and weighs about 5 kilograms, heavy enough to hurt when it hits me in the head."
Tipple has been surfing since he was a kid and begun filming underwater in 2000.
