SIXTH EDITION

Contest
I had an honor of being Scubashooters.
net media partner on a phenomenal event
in the Philippines: the Anilao Underwater
Shootout.
The Anilao Underwater Shootout is a year-
ly competition organized and sponsored
by the Philippine Department of Tourism in
cooperation with resort owners, dive opera-
tors, dive masters...
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when
presented an idea of being on the biggest
underwater photo competition in the world.
When I got there, I was stunned and im-
pressed by the fact that there were more
than 200 competitors from 24 countries.In just six years of organizing the event, they
have managed the impossible.I can only praise the organization of such a
big event.There is no better marketing for a country
than recognizing and supporting such an im-
portant competition.Social networks were flooded with the beau-
ty of the Philippines, both on land and un-
derwater.Therefore, I am certain there will be even
more participants next time.
