PADI Announces ‘Dives with a Difference’ Contest Winners
For Dives with a Difference, PADI asked divers to send them pictures or videos of dive sites which are out of the normal scuba box – the places we don’t always dive every day, locations that need specialist training to access, or simply those which are a one-of-its-kind in the world.
PADI shortlisted 10 finalists and then asked the public to cast their votes on which entry was their favourite.
1st Place – Joffer Fernandes, Brazil
Dive Site: Mina da Passagem, Brazil
Joffer intrigues with his description: “Imagine an old trolley, taking you deep inside a deactivated gold mine. At the end of the track, after a short walk, an underground lake whispers an invitation to discover its submerged beauty.”
Joffer has won a GoPro video package which includes a Hero4 Silver camera kit, 2X filters, 1 dive housing and 1 camera tripod.
2nd Place – Arthur Borges, USA
Dive Site: Chaak Tun Cenote, Mexico
Arthur has won a QuikPod DSLR/POV Ultra selfie stick and Floating Lanyard and a PADI Prize Pack.
3rd Place – Gašper Otorepec, Slovenia
Dive Site: The Green Lake, Austria
Gašper had this to say about his winning photo: “Each year the Austrian Green Lake fills with water from the melting snow high above in the Alps… pathways and benches become an awesome underwater fun park with amazing visibility in cold water diving.”
Gašper also shared a video of his Green Lake dive:
Gašper has won a QuikPod DSLR/POV Ultra selfie stick, a Floating Lanyard and a PADI Prize Pack.
Scubaverse.com would like to congratulate all three winners!
