Shadows in a Desert Sea
Underwater photographer
Howard Hall developed special aqualung equipment that does not emit bubbles for this portrait of life beneath the Sea of Cortez, off the Californian coast. This enabled him to capture intimate film of such creatures as whale sharks, manta rays and sea lions. The film also reveals a threat lurking in the form of fishing boats, which trawl the seabed in a search for prawns.
