Every year PADI Diving Society produces a limited-edition Society membership card design. More than 175,000 Society members use their card proudly in PADI Dive Centres and Resorts worldwide.

Calling all photo enthusiasts now! All Society members and Scuba Diver AustralAsia readers are invited to submit their favourite underwater or dive lifestyle photo to grace the Society membership card. You will have the opportunity to have your photograph, name and / or website printed on the 2011 PADI Diving Society membership card that’s used throughout the world!

How can you become involved?


Submit up to three photos of your best underwater or diving lifestyle photos as high resolution images minimum 300 dpi; in a horizontal digital image in proportion to 9.56 x 6.4cm or 3.75 x 2.5 inches.

Three winners will be chosen from the overall entries. Artwork will be judged by PADI Asia Pacific and Scuba Diver AustralAsia staff members. These three selected winners will be polled along with seven more top images submitted by PADI Americas and PADI International. All ten images will be opened to a public voting process, including on padi.com and ScubaDiverAA.com

The final winner will be announced around the time of the DEMA Show 17 – 20 November 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A. along with global recognition on websites and in Scuba Diver AustralAsia magazine.
