The Shootout Returns

It’s back and it is serious…

During the 2016 Lembeh vs Gulen shootout, two teams did battle to decide which would be champion. After an intense battle and by a narrow margin, Lembeh eventually proved victorious.

In 2018, round two commences. From 15 to 23 June, two teams of photographers will again gather at Gulen Diver Resort, Norway and [Lembeh Resort, Indonesia] (http://www.lembehresort.com) to compete for individual and team glory. Guided and mentored by professional and acclaimed underwater photographers, the teams will strive to produce amazing imagery in a series of categories.

The quality of images that were produced by the teams in 2016 under contest conditions is a true tribute to their abilities. The 2018 SHOOTOUT will provide the same challenges and an opportunity for all photographers to show their mettle. Join a team and help decide which will be the winners!
