SHENZHEN, China - September 29, 2025 - As smartphones solidify their role as the primary tool for modern content creation, DIVEVOLK, an award-winning leader in underwater imaging technology, today launches its inaugural “My Underwater Mobile Adventure” underwater smartphone photo contest. This landmark event invites divers, snorkelers, surfers, and water lovers worldwide to submit their most compelling underwater moments captured on any smartphone. The contest, running from today through October 20, 2025, aims to discover and celebrate the next wave of aquatic storytellers, supported by a prestigious international judging panel and a prize pool valued at over US$ 7,000.
The competition arrives at a time when visual storytelling dominates social platforms, and audiences crave authentic, high-quality adventure content. The “My Underwater Mobile Adventure” contest provides a powerful platform for the global diving and water sports community to showcase their passion and talent, using the accessible and powerful device they use every day: their phone.
At the heart of this creative movement is DIVEVOLK’s groundbreaking technology, exemplified by the SeaTouch 4 Max. This is the world’s first underwater housing to offer true, unrestricted capacitive touchscreen control, allowing users to operate their smartphone’s native camera app—including all pro-mode settings, lens switching, and third-party apps—as seamlessly as they would on land. This technological leap shatters the limitations of traditional button-operated housings and places professional-grade creative freedom into the hands of every explorer. In the spirit of inclusivity, the contest is brand-agnostic, welcoming submissions from users of any phone model and any housing, championing raw talent above all else.
“We are at a pivotal moment where the line between professional and enthusiast photography is blurring, thanks to the incredible power of smartphones,” said a spokesperson for DIVEVOLK. “The ‘My Underwater Mobile Adventure’ contest is more than just a competition for beautiful images; it’s a movement to empower every person who loves the water to become a storyteller. We’re providing the platform; the community provides the magic. We believe the future of underwater content is spontaneous, accessible, and in the hands of everyone.”
