Digital cameras and lower cost housings have created a boom in the number of divers who are bringing cameras to capture the beautiful reefs of Cozumel. This workshop is designed to show you how to use your digital camera and get the best shots possible when shooting underwater in Cozumel. No camera is too big or too small! Not only is this workshop a lot of fun, but you'll learn all about how to improve your underwater photography by shooting better and improving on what you've captured by using Adobe Photoshop.

Check out our photo scrapbook for snapshots of the activities from previous workshops.

The workshop is FREE to all guests of Scuba Club Cozumel this week.

Your instructor and host is Bonnie Pelnar, author of "The Digital Workflow for Underwater Photographers", part of a series of courses available at TheUnderwaterPhotographer.com. Bonnie has made 30 trips to Cozumel and she knows where and how to find the best Cozumel has to offer and can show you how to capture it with your camera.

In addition to the presentations, slide shows and seminars, Bonnie will be available to dive with you each day. This year we will set up a special photographer's boat, so if you wish to dive with the rest of the shooters, you are welcome to come along.

INON America has joined in the fun and will be providing a variety of INON strobes and lenses that will be available for your use during this workshop. Please contact Bonnie well ahead of time so we can be sure to bring along the correct adapters and synch cords for your camera or housing! This is another great opportunity to try new products and accessories before buying! With the addition of an external strobe to your digital housing, you'll get GREAT SHOTS!

At the end of the week we'll be having a photo contest with awards and prizes!

If your would like to attend please contact Bonnie to reserve your spot!

Workshop Schedule:

Schedule subject to change as needed. Daily events will be posted each morning in the downstairs restaurant.

Course prerequisites: You must be a certified diver to dive with us. Due to the fact that coral reefs are very fragile, please make sure you have excellent buoyancy control before you decide to dive with a camera. If you are not comfortable with your buoyancy we will offer a short underwater course in buoyancy control and reef awareness for an additional fee.
