This year's event took place on Saturday 2nd July at the The Mount Batten Centre. All underwater photographers were invited to participate either by entering prints taken prior to the event or slides taken 'On the Day' to compete for the trophies and personal awards.

More than 50 prints were submitted in advance in the British and Open class and despite the appalling weather forecast a total of 37 underwater photographers participated in the 'On the Day' competition - 21 film and 19 digital.
