A week-end of fun, sun and great underwater imagery you can take home to show everyone! Combine the expertise of Reefteach's diving legend Neville Ayliffe, with Bittenbysharks expertise in Underwater Imaging, add top-notch service, excellent cuisine and great company , and you have a diving week-end to remember!
Bittenbysharks have customised this week-end to suit the aspiring underwater photographer. Meals are included specifically in order to maximise your time with the pros, so that every minute can be devoted to polishing your underwater photography skills (and not to preparing meals!!) The cuisine is left in good hands, and is absolutely delectable!
Even if you have never done any of the Bittenbysharks workshops..... and even if your camera is seemingly unsignificant.... and even if you don't yet have an underwater camera.......it's ok, this week-end is still for you!! Video, or stills - no problem, these pros can handle both!
If you happen to have completed any Bittenbysharks workshop, of course, this week-end is the perfect complement. Underwater, both Claudia and Leon will help you get the results you need by actively being by your side, and monitoring your imagery. After the day's diving, images will be viewed on a large monitor for critique; the pros will make suggestions for improvement. With hands-on tips and tricks from the pros in abundance throughout the week-end, the difference in your photography will be night and day!
(Note: If you would like to upgrade your workshop to the PADI Digital Underwater Specialty, this is possible, however you can simply do the photography week-end without doing the specialty. )
There is an optional Fish ID course presented by the famous Neville Ayeliffe of Reefteach, which is excellent value, and fits perfectly with underwater imaging.
