Orca Divers Underwater Photography Competition 2007 Orca Divers, a PADI 5* IDC Scuba Diving School based in Chorlton, Manchester recently held their annual underwater photography exhibition and competition. The prizes for this annual event, totaling over £2000, included an Inon Fish-Eye Lens, a diving holiday for 2 people with Emperor Divers, Photography Equipment and Courses from Orca Divers, a Mares Airtrim Origin Sport BCD; TUSA mask, fins and snorkel of choice and an Atomic Mask. 31 entries were displayed under 2 categories: Warm Water and UK Waters. The judges, Kirk Mottershead and Bec Garland, two professional photographers from Manchester, chose an overall best in show, and then winners and runners-up in each category. There were also prizes for the top 2 photographs as chosen by the Orca Divers Club members who attended the event. Ben Downes, from Antrobus, won the top prize of the Overall Best in Show with his superb wreck shot taken on an Orca Divers trip to Egypt and he also took the prize for the Best Underwater Photograph taken in UK waters with a Blenny taken on a trip to North Wales. Liam Byres, from West Didsbury, won the top prize for a photograph taken in warmer water and also won the Orca Divers Club Member’s choice with photos taken in Hamata. The runners-up in each category were: Lyndon Saunders, David Pilgrim and Doug Robertson. The standard of competition was superb. Nick Robertson-Brown, owner of Orca Divers, who teaches underwater photography courses said “We are already looking forward to next year’s competition. We had some great entries and the judges found it really difficult to pick out the best photographs. We had photos taken from all around the world, from Egypt, the Caribbean, Indonesia and of course from our UK waters as well.” Orca Divers would like to thank Ocean Optics, Emperor Divers, Mares, CPS Partnership and Typhoon International for the generous donation of prizes for this competition. www.orcadivers.com Ben Downes, from Antrobus, won the top prize of the Overall Best in Show Doug Robertson Ben Downes 41/12 www.uwpmag.com
