Hello all!
This is the second year that a non-profit group of people from around Galdar (a small village in the north coast of Gran Canaria, Spain) has joined together with the townhall and other supporting companies in order to create a week full of ocean related activities such as chidren drawing competitions, several talks with experts about "Diving &Society" and "Marine Biodiversity", swimming competitions in the bay...and what is related to this forum: underwater pictures shows, 3 days underwater digital photograph course given by the two times world champion Carlos Minguell ( www.ocean-photos.com )
and an underwater photo competition both in film and digital with nice prizes (4500€ per category). I attended last year and it was a complete success...the best thing was the excelent spirit showed by everybody and getting to know a lot of people (okay free beer and food all weekend long helped too!!)

It was even better than expected and we all had lots of fun in this 3 day diving weekend... I got 6th out of 24 and I always keep thinking I chose the wrong pics but everybody always think the same 
. We had to come out of the water with 60 pics (the rest were deleted) after the two dives (cameras were kept by the org during the diving interval) so you had to erase underwater (which was allowed)...
Then you had 20 minutes in front of a computer to choose a collection...
One pic had to be a complete fish and another a WA with model. The rest was free
Here are the ones I took (only PS to downsize):
WA with model:
Fish: Too much backscatter (not the best day for UWP...)
This is one I think I should have included instead of one of the WAs but you never know and...........Luisa is very beautiful!!!! 
I hope you like them!!
