This year’s Manta Ray Fest has 5 professional presenters that include some of today’s top underwater shooters – Frank Schneider, contributor of Tauchen magazine, Steven Miller from Ikelite photo school, Andy Schumacher from Schumacherfilms in Germany as well as Ray Bullion and Brad Holland.

The festival culminates in a photo contest with more prizes than photographers – everyone goes home with something from our sponsors – compact camera shooters win the same prizes as big dSLR systems. Top prizes include liveaboard trips to Raja Ampat with Dive Damai and to Guadalupe Island for Great White sharks with Solmar V, Mares gear sets as well as a bunch of prizes from Henderson, Pelican, Armor bags and McNett towels while dSLR and non-dSLR categories winners will receive special titanium jewelry by Diver Design.
