Underwater Babies

Seth Casteel the photographer and author of previous works like Underwater Dogs and Underwater Puppies has done it again. This time he focused on taking pictures of babies underwater.

The book contains 80 photos of babies aged between four and 17 months old, "all safely photographed underwater." Casteel took the photos during actual swimming lessons, where his subjects learned about water safety while their parents were close by.

Not only are these pictures very cute and adorable but they have a deeper message behind them. According to the Red Cross, one-to-four-year-old kids drown at twice the rate of kids aged 10 to 14, and the organization notes in the vast majority of cases, the child's lack of swimming ability was a contributing factor.
