Win a holiday for two to the Maldives in BSoUP’s ‘Splash-In’ competition, Courtesy of Scuba Tours Worldwide
Scuba Tours Worldwide are sponsoring the BSoUP ‘Splash-In’ competition again this year. The competition takes place at Portland Marina in Dorset in the UK on Saturday 5th July. There are three main categories to enter – Marine Life, Mankind in the Sea and Compact Cameras. There is also a ‘Humorous’ category which is voted for by the audience. All images must be taken in the sea on the day of the competition so entrants are put under pressure and their photographic and diving skills are truly challenged.
The winner of the Marine Life category will receive the fabulous prize of a 7 night holiday for two people in the Maldives from Scuba Tours Worldwide. The holiday can be taken on board the much loved MV Sea Queen or MV Sea Spirit liveaboards, and is worth up to £2,800. See the BSoUP website for full details.
Last year’s winner, Dan Bolt, made this comment after taking his prize holiday on board MV Sea Spirit in the Maldives earlier this year …
“Being here on the back of STW’s generous sponsorship of the BSoUP Splash-In, I can honestly say that the Maldives is an underwater photographers’ heaven! Under the expert guidance of Matt & Anne-Marie we had an amazing week and ticked all the marine wildlife boxes … and more! Can’t wait to come back and would encourage everyone to try the Maldives …“.
