The live-streamed warmwater v coldwater photographic battle recommenced in June – and the outcome went down to the wire

THE SHOOTOUT is a unique underwater photography event that pits two teams in dive resorts around the world against each other in live shootouts.

In 2016, a team at Lembeh Resort, Indonesia competed in a live shootout with a team at Gulen Dive Resort, Norway, with the former winning.

This year, from 16 to 23 June, a rematch was held, with the Lembeh team captained by Alex Mustard and the Gulen team by Keri Wilk.

The contest had three categories: Nudibranchs, Fish/Invertebrates and Wide Angle, and at the end of each competition day, the participants’ images went forward to an online public vote.

Appeared in DIVER August 2018

THE NUDIBRANCH and Fish/Invertebrate rounds were both narrowly won by Team Lembeh, while Team Gulen won the Wide Angle category. These results allowed Team Lembeh to retain its title and win the contest overall.

The actual winning margin was only 66 votes (out of more than 4000), making it a very close-run thing right up to the end.

Alongside the team contest, the individual competition was won by Galice Hoarau of Team Gulen, with Nick More and Kellda Centeno of Team Lembeh taking second and third places respectively.

Along the way, both teams created a spectacular collection of underwater images, which can be seen at uwshootout.com

The 2018 SHOOTOUT was such a success, says organiser Adam Hanlon of wetpixel.com, that plans are already afoot to run a further rematch in 2020.

#askmark Hi mark, i have a multipart question regarding the long hose setup i'm considering. I have a set of atomic regulators, an M1 for my primary and a Z2 octo, configured in traditional setup. Questions are: 1. When i switch to a longhose, do i NEED to put in on the Z2 octo (It's not a fully yellow octo, but it does have yellow tints on it - it also stays in a black hose). They're both similar in terms of breathing, but i'd rather have my m1 primary on it. 2. should i go for traditional rubber hoses or braided? I also considered an miflex xt-tech hose for the long hose? I'm mostly concerned about floatines and "scratchy" feeling with the braided ones. Thank you, Keep up the good work
