We know about diving Australia and beyond !
If you have been looking for diving information on the internet, you would have stumbled over a website called underwater.com.au – a project we started in 2002 and a website that has become the most visited diving website in Australasia. Have a look at all the articles, photo galleries and massive amounts of information. underwater australasia also runs an annual underwater photo competition with $10,000 worth of prizes.
Byron Underwater Festival 2009 was a great success !
The 3rd annual Byron Underwater Festival was held from Monday the 27th of April to Sunday the 3rd of May. The Underwater Festival is an annual event organised by us (underwater.com.au) aimed to engage everyone with an interest in the marine environment, whether you want to dive it, snorkel it, kayak it … even paint it, or just observe it from the safety of your armchair. This event is now held in a different exciting diving location in Australia each year.
In 2009 an underwater photo and video shootout with close to $40,000 worth of prizes was only the beginning. Guest of honour Neville Coleman, underwater pioneer and author of over 50 books, was with us at the festival for the 3rd time, participating in many events and delivering some outstanding marine wildlife presentations.
For more info, winning photographs of UF07 in 2007, UF08 in 2008 and UF09 in 2009 visit the festival archive websites and go to the 2010 Underwater Festival website for info on this exciting event which will be held on beautiful Christmas Island in late April 2010.
