Congratulations to all entrants. This has been the highest overall standard so far and we have enjoyed watching all the videos.
It’s great to see people getting so much out of interacting with our marine environment and being able to capture magic moments on camera to share with others.
As with all competitions, there has to be a winner (but no losers). It was difficult to pin this down to one entry but in the end the film that stood out more than any other was by Volker Staub. The music and pace of images worked perfectly together creating a magical, dreamlike quality to the video that portrayed a new feel to our underwater world.
We do run underwater video courses with Jeff Goodman and it would be a pleasure for him and us to see any of the entrants on a course.
