Photo & Video Workshop

July 9-19, 2022

This workshop is designed for the underwater photographer who wants to take better pictures of macro subjects. No camera is too big or too small and all skill levels are invited. 

We've been running workshops for many years and they keep getting better every year, with lots of fun, prizes, and surprises! Here's your chance to get all your questions answered and improve your underwater photography and/or video skills. 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 and Lightroom. Bonnie has made over 40 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 and Walter will dive with you each day. We arrange special photographer's boats, so we don't hold up the other divers. We go nice and slow! If your non-shooting spouses wish to dive with the rest of the shooters, they are welcome to come along.

We also do one-on-one image review sessions with all the workshop participants, giving you a private critique of your images, as well as tips on how to improve your shooting techniques.

The evening before departure we wind things up with a wonderful awards ceremony, where we present the contest winners and distribute prizes ato all.

Sign up early. This workshop sold out last year!

If your would like to attend please contact Bonnie to reserve your spot. We can not accept walk-ins that have not contacted Bonnie in advance.
