Let’s Join the 2nd Annual Bastianos Underwater Photo Competition
Following the success of our inaugural event, we are thrilled to announce the 2nd Annual Bastianos Underwater Photo Competition, returning in 2026! Once again, we invite our guests to celebrate the beauty of the underwater world and showcase their creativity through the lens, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned underwater photographer.
At Bastianos Dive Resorts, the ocean continues to inspire us. From Lembeh Strait’s legendary muck diving, to Bangka’s colourful coral gardens, and Bunaken’s dramatic wall dives, our dive destinations offer endless opportunities to capture rare critters, vibrant reefs, and unforgettable underwater moments.
This competition is about more than prizes — it’s about sharing your diving stories, learning from fellow photographers, and highlighting the extraordinary marine biodiversity of Indonesia.
