Two Chieftain tanks have been sunk among the reefs in the Red Sea in a tactical battle formation between 50 and 90 feet underwater.

The photographer Martin Broen said he wanted to “capture the symmetry of the Chieftain Tanks and strong presence of their 120mm guns.”

The shot won in the 2024 “wrecks” category.

“This is an image I’ve been trying to perfect for almost six years,” the photographer Becky Kagan Schott said.

The Kyle Spangler is a wooden two-masted schooner that sank in 1860 after crashing into another vessel, taking 15,000 bushels of wheat to the lake floor with it.

The wreck is considered one of the best-preserved schooners in the lake, according to Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

The photographer Fabi Fregonesi traveled to the Virgo, a boat sunk to create a dive site near Recife, Brazil, and caught this once-in-a-lifetime shot.

“Seconds after that, the fish formation changed,” she said.

The SS Thistlegorm was sunk off the coast of Egypt in 1941 while carrying a cargo of armored vehicles, motorbikes, artillery and ammunition, and railway equipment. It was spotted and bombed by German aircraft.

Much later, Jacques Cousteau tracked it down — more recently, the photographer Alex Dawson took this stunning image.

This passenger plane was — thankfully — scuttled on purpose in Aqaba. Still, it makes for an evocative image, thanks in part to the photographer’s attempt to make it look like the plane is about to take off.

“I placed a powerful light on a small tripod in the jet engine to create the effect of a powered engine,” Christian Horras said.

The photographer Álvaro Herrero says he borrowed a cave-photography technique called the “butt light” to get this shot. That’s where one diver swims behind another, hidden from the camera, shining a light to illuminate them from behind.

Here, Kagan Schott captured the catastrophic damage that a crash caused to the bulk freighter SS Norman, which sank in 1895 in Lake Huron.

The ship “was hit so hard it cut the freighter in half sending it into the depths and taking the lives of three crew members,” she said.

The super-dreadnought HMS Audacious fell victim to a sea mine in 1914 while exploding and then sinking off the coast of Northern Ireland.

The photographer Kieran Hatton said he caught this shot when he saw another diver in the area and quickly passed her his light, while asking her to swim down the 13.5-inch gun barrels.

Herrero said he had just a few minutes to get this shot of a Bell AH-1F Cobra sunk off the coast of Jordan.

“This photograph was one of the most challenging I have taken,” he said. In the short time they had left underwater, he decided to illuminate the windows and instructed the diver in the picture so that he could catch the light’s reflection in his mask.

This German rescue steamer, the Parat, was sunk by Allied forces off the Norwegian coast in 1944 as it attempted to come to the aid of a German freighter that had run aground.

Today, “the dive site looks very barren initially,” the photographer Guilhem Duprat said. But once you get closer, “the wreck has become an oasis” covered in sea life, he said.
