(CNN) -- "The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." -- French explorer Jacques Cousteau
It's said that the ocean
is like space: Vast and filled with life, most of which we have yet to
discover. The aquatic frontier captivates those who dare to explore its
depths, by offering a new realm filled with color and mystery.

In 1968, with the advent
of color TV, French explorer Jacques Cousteau introduced viewers to the
deep blue sea with his show, "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau,"
which used underwater cinematography to bring the beauty and wonder of
the ocean to viewers around the globe.
Today, thanks to
relatively inexpensive, yet highly sophisticated equipment and access to
diving lessons, photographers are able to explore the ocean through
their own lens. CNN invited enthusiasts to share their best underwater
photos and the stories behind their explorations under the sea.
