It was a tough decision, but the judges at Aquatec Group have finally selected this year’s photo competition winner.

We are pleased to announce that Richard Sheryll has won the Summer of Suspension photo contest 2016, with his photograph of the Deep Ocean Benthic Sampler collecting benthic boundary layer sediment samples in absence of decompression. Richard’s prize is a waterproof Polaroid Cube camera and complimentary accessories.

Richard’s photograph captures the role of technology in the ocean environment, in the midst of a benthic boundary layer sediment plume.
