Vibrant coral reefs, mesmerising marine life and spectacular submerged treasures comprise the baffling realms of the underwater world and this September it is time to uncover all of them!
Highlight of the festival
The 5th Underwater Festival 2011 is just few months away and it is time for you to book seats on cheap flights to Australia. The major highlight of the festival is undoubtedly the photo and video shootout competition that offers more than U$100,000 in prizes to the winners and goes on from the 2nd to the 11th of September 2011 - best time to visit the region.
The competition will be held simultaneously all over Australasia - a region that encompasses 25 countries spanning both hemispheres - and encourages people to don on their diving suit and get clicking or shooting! It's like a huge carnival that engulfs the entire region into festivities and celebrations.
One feature that really makes this competition stand out in the crowd is the unrestrained canvas that it offers you to paint your pictures on! Any diving spot that one can imagine will be your shootout locality - be it your local dive centre, live-a-board, resort dive spots, your personal favourite spots and even your home bath tub! Top 100 images will be exhibited at the new Australian Dive & Travel Expo ODEX in Brisbane on the second weekend in October 2011.
Thousands book their cheap tickets to Australia for the period to be able to enjoy this incredible event and its accompanying revelry.

As it is, cheap tickets on flights to Australia from London are difficult to come by, but if planned in advance travellers may end up saving considerably.
