Mobile photography has transformed how we capture the world, bringing high-quality imaging into the palm of our hands. At DIVEVOLK, our mission has always been to break down barriers and empower everyone to document their journey beneath the waves. Now, we're taking that mission to the next level.
We are thrilled to announce the official launch of our very first "My Underwater Mobile Adventure" Underwater Smartphone Photo Contest! This is your chance to share your incredible underwater moments, win cash prizes, and claim your share of a prize pool valued at over US$7,000, all judged by a panel of international photography experts.
From Deep Dives to Surfing: The Power of Your Phone
Modern smartphones are powerful creative tools. When paired with innovative technology like the DIVEVOLK SeaTouch 4 Max, their potential becomes limitless. Thanks to its revolutionary full-screen touch capability, you can use your phone underwater just as you would on land. This versatility means you’re not just limited to diving; you can capture stunning content while swimming, surfing, snorkeling, or enjoying any water sport.
This contest celebrates that freedom. It’s about the story you tell, the moment you capture, and the adventure you have, all with the device you use every day.
A Contest for Everyone, Judged by the Best
From the moment we announced the contest, we’ve been overwhelmed by the positive response from senior underwater photographers, influencers, and community leaders encouraging divers to participate. This event is open to all phone models and all underwater housings—you don't even need to use a DIVEVOLK product to enter. All that matters is your creativity and your passion for the underwater world.
To ensure the most outstanding work is recognized, we’ve invited a distinguished panel of Chinese and international photographers to serve as our judges.
