Unicorns of Diving Photo Contest

Photo Contest

Share your underwater photo.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro with a high end setup or shooting with a GoPro or Insta360, we want to see scuba through your eyes. At Unicorns of Diving, we believe there is no such thing as a “losing” photo. Every image is a celebration of a moment you chose to dive in. Whether it is a high five underwater, a hidden nudibranch, or your 100th dive milestone, your perspective is what brings this club to life.
