Suunto, an outdoor sports equipment company, is offering divers around the world the chance to win an all-expenses paid VIP trip to one of the world's most exclusive dive sites. Three divers will get the chance to join the Suunto team and The Scuba Diver Girls at the beautiful Ayada Maldives in January 2015 – and dive unexplored reefs. 

Situated in the Southern Atolls of the Maldives, the five-star resort offers dives to rarely seen areas, where the clear waters and abundant sea life offer an incredible diving experience. 

To join the free one-week diving trip, all you need to do is simply share your most memorable diving moment on one of Suunto's social media channels or fill out the online form on Suunto.com. It could be an inspiring image or video that captures an encounter with a whale shark or school of jacks, or just an underwater selfie of you and your dive buddy exploring a secluded reef as long as it captures the joy of diving. 

These are the three ways to participate:

• Post and tag an image or video including #SuuntoDive and #Paradise on Instagram or Twitter

• Upload an image or video link as a comment on the official #SuuntoDive #Paradise Facebook post

• Complete the form on the Suunto website and hit submit. 

The Scuba Diver Girls will select the three best entries. The contest opens on 19th November 2014 and closes on 8th December 2014. The three winners will be announced mid-December on Suunto.com. The trip to the Maldives is scheduled for 10th-17th January 2015. The full terms & conditions can be read here. 

Winners of the trip will also have the opportunity to test the latest Suunto dive computers, such as the Suunto EON Steel and other outdoor products. With the Suunto team on-hand, they will receive an expert demonstration on how to use all products and be able to talk to the people who made them.
