Up and coming category winner. Paradise by Taeyup Kim (South Korea) in South Fakarava, French Polynesia. “Overwater, beautiful resorts and palm trees ... Underwater, nearly 1m depth, colourful hard corals and reef fish. For the first dive here, I was running out of time for preparing ascent. And I request only diving this specific area for the nice split shots. I worked for about 30 minutes. Surface was not that calm because of the boat which made waves. Secondly my posture was really unstable in super shallow depth, surrounding hard corals for lifting my dome and getting right composition”.
