Hi all!

My name is Shaff & I’m a Scuba diving instructor from the Republic of Maldives. I started taking photos a few years back as a hobby. I never thought of entering any competitions as I thought all my photos won’t even make it anywhere. My family, friends and also my students always tells me how good my photos are and that I should enter a competition. Last month I entered the first photo competition organised by the Maldives Tourism Promotion Board and won the competition. I submitted 5 photos to the underwater category and came 1st and 2nd. And then won the ‘Best of the Show’. It was a big surprise to me because I took all the photos using an Olympus 5060WZ. Now I’ve got an Ikelite housing and strobes for my Nikon D50 DSLR. I hope I can learn a lot from the professional or amateur photographers in DigiDeep. Wish me luck.
