PADI Diving Society's Member Card Photo Contest

About the Contest: Each year, the PADI Diving Society introduces a limited-edition Society membership card. In the past, we’ve used photos from our own collections or invite renowned underwater photographers to provide striking images. However, with the growth of Digital Underwater Photography, and more and more divers capturing their underwater experiences, we decided to create a worldwide search!

Judges from your local PADI office and Sport Diver magazine will select three regional winners. Each PADI Diving Society office will then submit their regional winners in the 2012 Member Card Online Voting Contest.

The final winner will be announced November 2012 and will receive a certificate, global recognition, plus bragging rights! Last day for entry is 21 September 2012, so get in quick!

Find out how you can submit your entry here.

I always hope to capture the classic shark silhouette on a sandy patch close to the Cayman wall — a big treat, and an even bigger one if a Caribbean reef shark comes close and hangs around for some minutes before its shyness takes over and it disappears into the mysterious depths! Here's what happened when my husband encouraged me to book an oceanic white-tip shark expedition.
