With clear waters and sandy beaches, a photographer says Norfolk could be mistaken for the Caribbean.

An underwater photographer captured the beautiful world under the surface of the Norfolk sea during the heatwave.

Photographer Chris Taylor said the temperature of the water was perfect "for cooling off, but not so cold as to make you yelp". He has been snorkelling since he was 15 years old and has been photographing around Sheringham for five years.After temperatures in the town reached the high 30-degrees Celsius last Monday, Mr Taylor took to the sea on his first snorkel on the chalk reef this year."From the air you could be looking at the Caribbean with crystal clear, azure seas and sandy beaches," Mr Taylor said

He has previously photographed the Sheringham Snorkel trail, formed on top of a disused Victorian sewage pipe, and said it did not "disappoint" during this week's hot weather. Since he has been photographing the reef, he said he had not noticed any differences in the underwater landscape and it remained a "thriving and healthy ecosystem".Last Monday's snorkelling adventure was Mr Taylor's first of the year on the chalk reefHe said: "It's an underwater paradise and a great escape, even if for just half-an-hour.
