Scubashooters.net is the first comprehensive network dedicated to underwater photography.

Founded in 2012, Scubashooters managed to gather underwater photographers from all over the world and offer a wide array of possibilities not only to these artists but also to all ocean lovers and marine life enthusiasts.

The network is structured around the scubashooters.net website and a strong social presence. The Facebook fan page sports more than 400,000 followers worldwide and more than 21,000 active members who daily share their photos and/or appreciation for the ocean.

On the website there are different sections organized so that, within just a couple of clicks, anyone can reach the information they need. Within those sections are two special ones: the free online monthly magazine (also available to download to your device) and the contest section. The scubashooters network has been organizing monthly contests for years and they also organize one annual contest called ‘Deepvisions’.
