It's one part audio book, another part video game, and a sly personal trainer, combining all three elements to create an entertaining workout which makes you forget you're actually working out.

Photographer Seth Casteel captured these wonderful photographs of dogs underwater, doing what dogs do best: playing, fetching, and swimming. But the underwater currents mixed with Casteel’s high speed camera have transformed these lovable pups into truly savage aquatic beasts. Still pretty cute though.
