There’s still time to enter BSAC’s Great British Diving Photography Competition

Published 10 years agoon August 31, 2016

With over 19,000 page visits and 1,800 votes, the Great British Diving photography competition is causing quite the stir among British divers.

From Scapa Flow in Scotland, to Wast Water in the Lake District, and to Porthkerris in Cornwall, British divers are really embracing Great British Diving with some incredible underwater and topside amateur photos.

There have even been some international entries… although sadly they can’t be counted this time. BSAC will be looking at holding an international photography competition in the future.

Can I still enter?

There is still time for you to submit your photos. Submissions close on 30th September 2016. Voting will close Friday 7th October. Click here to visit BSAC’s Facebook page and enter.

BSAC recommend getting your photos submitted as soon as possible so that you have lots of time to build up votes.

I’ve entered, how do I get more votes?

Share your photo submission on social media with your friends and family and ask them to vote for you (they will if they think you have captured the spirit of British diving!).

Entries can be as simple as divers on the surface of the water with huge post-dive smiles, a fabulous wreck site or an exciting marine life encounter. It could be finally getting that perfect photo of a British critter or simply a group of divers out and about doing their thing.

Whatever your subject, it must be in the spirit of #GreatBritishDiving.
