The week-long event gives participants the chance to work and learn from industry pros, put their skills to the test in a photo/video shootout and get their hands on the hottest new gear.
 

Our friends over at Backscatter have just put up their coverage from the 2013 Digital Shootout, which attracted more than 60 intrepid underwater photogs. The coverage includes the winners from the imaging contests, as well as first hand trials of some of all the latest gear.
