Scores of underwater photographers and cameramen arrived from all over the world to participate in the annual “Epson Red Sea” competition. It's taken place here on the shore of the Red Sea in Eilat City.

The competitors dived into the Red Sea waters carrying special lighting equipment and cameras and documented corals, fish and other marine creatures.

[Robert Barley, Participant, U.K.]:
“It's a very nice atmosphere here. I think everyone, although we compete against one another; we also work together, so it's a nice combination really.”

There are several categories in the competition, including the best five images category and the best video-clip category.   

Arturo Telle from Spain won the best five images category, and received a ten thousand dollar prize.

[Arturo Telle, Winner, Spain]:
“The feeling may be good about the pictures, but you don't know until it ends, until they say your name, you'd never know what will happen. And you don't know also what other people have done. So it's impossible to guess something about it. It's always the same expectation, always the same heart beating until the end.”
