The
Annual BSoUP Splash-in took place on Saturday 5 July at Fort
Bovisand Underwater Centre, Plymouth, Devon. All underwater
photographers were invited to participate, whether they were
members of BSoUP or not, but please note that non-members
paid higher entry fees. The event was sponsored by ANDREW
CHURNIN of THE DIVE EMPORIUM. Andrew generously donated gift
vouchers totalling £350 to the winners!
There
were two classes - Slides taken 'On the Day' and Prints taken
prior to the event.
The
Slide class included two categories, one for serious underwater
photographs and one for humour. In this unique competition,
entrants were provided with a roll of 36 x 35 mm film in the
morning and had until tea-time to expose it in Plymouth waters.
The
winner in the "On the Day" category was PETER TATTON with
a photograph of a scorpion spider crab. Peter, a dentist by
profession, is BSoUP's Treasurer and also a member of St Albans
diving club and St Albans & District Photographic Society.
He has been diving since 1968 and taking underwater photographs
for the past 18 years. He took the winning shot in 6m just
off the rock pool alongside Fort Bovisand usin
