As part of the Grenada Diving Festival, Pure Dive Fest, participants were asked to enter their favourite images into an underwater photography competition. The winners were announced at a lively closing ceremony held at Coconut Beach Restaurant.
The competition had four categories: wreck, reef, macro and best image from a dive pro. Prizes were sponsored by:

In addition to this competition, there was a popular social media competition that encompassed the whole event, allowing the public to vote for their favourite image taken during Dive Fest. The winner got a 2 night stay at any Sandals Resort – and this was also won by Camille Kaufman with her lovely shot of an arrow crab in a sponge.
