It puts South Africa firmly on the world map of underwater photography and will promote tourism to South Africa in the diving industry, more specifically shark diving which has become a very popular activity for underwater divers and photographers from around the world. Aliwal Shoal on the KZN south coast boasts with some of the best shark diving in the world and is definitely a must-visit attraction. I really hope that this will also strengthen South Africa\u2019s resolve to protect these animals for future generations and the tourism industry,\u201d commented Walker.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of photographers from around 40 countries around the world take part in the World ShootOut competition year after year, submitting thousands of images and videos, ranging from those that capture the calm lakes of the Nordic countries and Canada, showcase the exotic secrets hidden in Alaska and introduce the great dramatic white shark in the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>To see more of Walker\u2019s images visit: http:\/\/www.awphotosa.com<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p><small><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/south-african-photographer-walker-wins-world-shootout-2018-shark-category\/\">MyPR<\/a><\/small><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/submit\">Submit your own Press Release<\/a> or get free content for your publication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Video &#8211; How to post your Press Release on MyPR:<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9ovzdChGkuU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><small>My Press Release (MyPR) provides free South African targeted content and press releases for on and off line publishers and media.
