Mobile Phones Category

This category is sponsored by DIVEVOLK. Smartphones are used to take more photos than any other device. This category is for any underwater image taken with any smart phone to demonstrate that amazing underwater photographs can be taken with equipment almost everyone has access to.

Photos can be from anywhere in the world, taken using any housing or even without a housing if your phone is waterproof.

Free to enter (up to 5 images) for UPY2026 only. Open to all.
