** DivePhotoGuide and H2O Photo Pros-Wakatobi Underwater Imaging Festival 2008**
April 4-15, 2008 $2840.00*
Situated in a small archipelago just Southeast of Sulawesi, in
central Indonesia, Wakatobi is truly a slice of paradise with exceptional
diving and endless photo and video opportunities. So where better to hold
an underwater photo and video festival!
While at the resort, photographers and videographers will be able
to focus on wide angle and macro all day long, both on scheduled boat
dives or on the world famous house reef, consistently referred to as the best house reef in the world.
Most evenings will be set aside for reviews and screenings of the day's images and videos. Three workshops will be held during each week for novice to intermediate shooters who wish to polish up on some of the essential skills needed to capture the beauty of the life on the reefs.
The H2O Photo Pros staff will be on site with the latest underwater photo & video gear available for in-water demos, and Mike Luzansky will be providing underwater video workshops along with the underwater photo workshops by Jason Heller.
