Because of bad weather agaon this year, the shooting date for the Photosub Splash-In had to be changed. Entries taken the weekend of the British Splash-In Championship were accepted instead.
There were 11 entries in the Splash in competition from 6 members. There were several members who took images over the weekend who did not enter. Hopefully, we will get more entries next year.
Thanks to all who took part and all who attended the evening, making it a successful night. Special thanks to the guest of honour, Marcus Scott-Taggart who did the judging.

The Digital Images Competition is now in its 5th year and hardly anyone uses anything other than digital cameras nowadays to shoot underwater. We may need to think of a new name for the future!
This year's competition was held at Len and Pat as usual and our guest of honour and judge this year was Dive Magazine Editor Simon Rogerson. Simon is also a very talented underwater photographer himself so his selection of images was not solely based on editorial potential!
This year's winner was Len Deeley with a shot taken at dawn under the jetty in Gangga. In second place, Anthony Holley's blue spotted ray with 2 cleaner wrasse drew a lot of attention. Bert Lee's scorpionfish looked extremely cuddly and was awarded third place.
The winners and commended images can be seen below. The slideshow of all images in competition can be viewed here.
