DEMA 2015 Coverage: DPG/Wetpixel Underwater Imaging Party
By Joseph Tepper, November 8, 2015 @ 06:00 PM (EST)


Ladies and gentlemen—the moment you’ve been waiting for. It’s the most anticipated industry gathering event of the year! It’s the revelry that revolutionized dive festivities! Here it comes: The 2015 DPG/Wetpixel Underwater Imaging Party.

After a long day on the show floor, the best of the best in underwater imaging gathered around the Rosen Centre’s pool deck for a drink or two at the watering hole. More than 250 attended this year’s event, making it one of the most successful to date.

If you’ve ever been to the DEMA Underwater Imaging party, then you know just how awesome of an experience it is. Not just because of the free drinks and grub made available through the generosity of our sponsors: Backscatter, Scuba Diver Life, Nauticam, and Lembeh Resort. But also because, for the better part of five hours, you’re in a room with people as passionate about underwater photography as you.

Ok, ok. Enough sentimentality. Let’s get to the embarassing party pics. And away we go!
