|  Just offshore, another world - Diver's photos reveal splendor under the sea
Quote:
Sixty feet below the surface of the waters off Cape Ann, it's silent. Murky. Cold.
The current jostles bodies like plastic bags in an updraft. Visibility is about 10 feet.
Yet in those harsh conditions, a riot of life thrives. Reefs flare with color - anemones in brilliant orange, yellow, white, and red. Striped bass dart back and forth in silvery flashes. Lobsters and crabs emerge curiously from reefs, brandishing open claws. Plants dance seductively.
To 56-year-old Salem diver and photographer Donald Whitehead, it is a stunning, vast, and challenging world.
"It's about as removed from my everyday life as I could get," he said. "It puts me in a place that is so different. I just can't get enough of it."
