2022 Photo Competition winners by Cathy de lara

Every year at NSDC’s AGM I hold a photo competition for all those photographs we have been busily taking throughout the year, it’s a great opportunity to see where people have been diving! Everyone present at the AGM gets to vote for their favourites (so its worth turning up just to vote!) so without further ado here are the winners…

Underwater UK, This is any photo taken in the sea, a lake or a quarry anywhere in the UK.

Joint second: Hilda Crockett with her picture of Simon, and Matt Walters’ photo of divers in Vobster.

First: A Tompot Blenny by Hilda Crockett.

First prize – Hilda Crockett, Tompot Blenny

Underwater Abroad: This is any photo taken underwater somewhere abroad, warm or cold waters, and a good chance to show that you have been diving somewhere more exotic than Vobster (not that we don’t love Vobster!)

Third: Simon Plank’s turtle

Second: Hilda Crockett’s Shark

First: Simon Plank’s colourful Nudibranch

First Prize – Simon Plank, Nudibranch

Surface: This is any photo taken of club members either in a diving (or snorkelling) situation, or any other club event. It also includes photos of water or dive sites and especially includes club members doing anything funny!

Third: Matt Walters’ photo of a right dodgy looking bunch on Chesil beach

Second: Simon Plank’s warm water sunset (not jealous at all)

First: Kathryn Phillips’ photo of Phil and Kev practicing for Strictly.

First prize – Kathryn Phillips, Phil and Kev practicing for Strictly

Video: A short piece of video taken in a diving situation.

Third: Ben Mitchell’s Seal in the Farnes

Second: Hilda Crockett’s 2022 bits

First: Phil Underwood’s Seal in the Farnes

Thanks to everyone who entered, I think we all enjoyed reliving the memories. Keep taking those photos and we will do it all again next year!
