    US underwater photographer Jim Watt has died aged 56, following a battle with lung cancer. Born in 1951 in Los Angeles, Watt learned to dive at the age of 14.

    As a child he was inspired by a TV programme about diving off California's Catalina Island. In the early Seventies he started to take underwater photographs, a hobby he continued to pursue while working as a commercial abalone diver, medical technician and liveaboard dive boat captain.

    He became a full-time professional marine life photographer in 1982 and quickly established himself on the wildlife photography scene. Over the last 25 years his images have been published in more than 400 books and magazines.

    Nine years ago Watt and his family moved to Hawaii, where he spent his final year battling with lung cancer

    'Having lost his heroic battle with cancer, he accepted his fate and departed with dignity,' said friend and fellow underwater photographer Doug Perrine. 'He slipped away quickly, but thankfully with little suffering. His spirit lives on in the many people he was able to inspire, teach, move, and motivate during his too-short time with us.'

    He is survived by wife, Jody, and two children, aged 13 and 20.
