Teledyne Marine is pleased to announce the winners of the 2024
Teledyne Marine Photo Contest 🡥. The contest had entries from around the globe this year, and we were treated to an incredible collection of the marine world's beauty, complexity, and creativity. Our photographers captured thrilling scenes and imparted inspiring memories of their work with Teledyne Marine technology in our ocean environment. And, with much discussion and a bit of tricky voting, here we are with the five categories winners.
Winner Voters Choice Award-Grand Prize
Here is the winner of the main prize! Best image among the Top 10 most popular photos, this photograph is mind-blowing in its composition:
Teledyne Gavia AUV and the
Teledyne RDI Pathfinder DVL for precise underwater navigation and data collection. Teledyne WinADCP software was also used. Hold on, everyone!
The AUV Barabas was used to investigate the impact of clay tectonic deformations on the construction of offshore wind farms in the Belgian part of the North Sea (BPNS). The image captures the complexities of operating in this dynamic and challenging marine environment.

Winner Best Data Award
This prize honors a photograph that shows the real-life effects of data collection on marine science. Here's a big congratulations on the image and the high-quality data it represents—a survey near Le Havre illustrating a tidal stream with the
Teledyne RESON Seabat T50-R.

Winner Adversity Award
This photo shows the endurance and willpower needed by marine experts. It records the efforts that went into confronting everything from the very harsh conditions and natural forces at hand to other impediments, all a part of working in and on the water. Hurricane Beryl was no match for our intrepid team and
Teledyne ADCP technology. Valuable data on Hurricane Beryl was collected!
It was decided to install our
ADCP V50, which was a routine installation for us. We chose to add some extra weight to prevent any movement. Weeks later, it was announced that Hurricane Beryl was expected to hit the coast of Mexico. We wanted to visit the ADCP to secure it, but all the local boats had already been tied down by their owners along the coast. We had no choice but to hope that the equipment would remain intact after the storm. To our surprise, after the storm passed, the equipment was still in place, and we were able to recover it and gather valuable data on Hurricane Beryl. It was a relief to get our equipment back.

Winner Moment of Zen Award
It is all about displaying what is beautiful and soothing about the ocean. If anything, it's the perfect reason to put pictures of nature at peace and, in many cases, at her most magnificent. The Golden Hour (just before the sunsets, when the light is softer and pleasing to nature) at Ganga River, Marine Drive, Patna, India.
The mission is to study the discharge measurements and depth across the Ganga River using the
TRDI RiverRay ADCP, under the Water Resources Department of Bihar.
