Also in the festival clubs amateur films devoted to diving and short films submitted to the competition organised as part of the festival were presented. Sponsors of the competition prizes were GoPro, Ecocar and Canal+. The GoPro Extreme Sports award went to Andrzej Drzymulski’s film Aday with KTM 690 Duke – the winner received a GoPro HD Hero camera with accessories. The editors of Canal+ awarded their prize, which is a film broadcast on Canal+ Sport, to the film Memorial of Wojtek Kozub, made by Piotr Wancerz and Maciej Bieńkowski.
