Our Objective

To promote underwater photography, provide opportunities for divers to nurture photography skills, and increase marine environmental appreciation to all through this medium.’ 

// Action for CLUBS
Origins

In January 2010, a small group of divers with an avid passion for underwater photography began meeting regularly to share their images, in-camera and photo editing skills. 
Interest grew and Snappers’ Underwater Photography Inc was formed in March 2012. 

We continue to grow – mentoring, learning and sharing, while having fun. 
Who knows what each photographer can achieve with their acquired skills, and the group’s support.

Authority to use some of your 2021-22 images in the Clubs entry to the APS Australia Cup 2022

Hi everyone

As discussed and agreed at the last meeting Matt and I will start reviewing our 2021-22 images to select 20 images as the Club’s entry in the APS Australia Cup 2022.

Please let me know by email only if you DO NOT want your images used in the Clubs entry. We will move ahead on the assumption that unless you email by 01 May 2022 we then have your permission to use and rename your images for the Club’s entry. ie No news is good news.

Some great images from last year to select from.

Take care, safe diving, Ian
