Photo / Video Workshop

What is a photo/video workshop? It's a liveboard dive trip like any other (ie: eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, sleep; then repeat)... but instead of watching DVD's during surface intervals and in the evenings, there's the option to follow our lectures on various aspects of underwater image-making. The aim is to begin improving your images.

We'll be there to critique and work with you on your shots, offer suggestions for improvement, and generally get stuck into all aspects of underwater photo and video. Pick our brains at any time, we're there to help you. Fourteen days presents a great opportunity to hone your skills, learn new techniques, and spend plenty of time with like-minded divers.
