'Cave diver at Swiss Siphon'
Fan Ping
Swiss Siphon is an extremely decorated salt water passage at Cenote Jailhouse in Quintana Roo, Mexico. It is about a 60-70 minute swim to this specific spot from the entrance, and a total of 3.5 hour runtime including staging the lights for a couple of shots. The diver Kirk's outstanding diving skills on rebreather has made this HDR shot a lot easier, and the image also represents what a true cave diver is like in the beautiful underwater caves of Mexico.
Judge's comment: Already technically and photographically perfect, the Back Story reveals the long time and incredible skills needed to perfect such an amazingly eye catching image. Hats off to everyone involved.
