Underwater Video and Photo Trips and Classes: Dive Trip to Maldives, Manta Bay: October 17- November 2, 2010

Maldives -- Manta Bay: October 17- November 2, 2010

We had such an amazing trip in 2009 that we immediately booked trips in 2010 and 2011 before we even got off the boat. It was that good! This 16 day run will ensure that we'll not only spend a lot of time with the mantas and whale sharks but then move on to see some of the other great dive sites the Maldives has to offer.

	We had a fantastic time at the Digital Shootout this year. Great diving in Little Cayman and in depth shooting seminars every day. We have come home with a wealth of great photos and video to share with you!		We've returned to Jim Abernathy's motor yacht Shearwater year after year for the most exciting photo experience on the ocean. From sharks to dolphins, a trip on the Shearwater is unequal in large marine animal photography. Not only does Jim pilot the largest and best skilled floating bait machine on the water, he's also a serious shooter that understands what you need to get the shot. Jim's a brilliant waterman and photographer and someday soon he'll release the greatest shark and dolphin photo book ever made. For now we get to be a part of his fun by buying passage and sharing in the amazing photo opportunities Jim has created.		We're thrilled to return to the famous island of sharks this year. From huge schools of hammerheads and jacks, to flying formations of marble rays or potential baitballs, the island of Cocos always delivers the greatest opportunity for natural wildlife displays.		Our Adobe Lightroom Class is a one day seminar designed specifically for underwater shooters. Learn essential digital photo techniques and computer methods. This seminar is instructed by Adobe Lightroom guru Daniel Brown.
