martin Edge

Mentor, coach, facilitator, educator. Whichever words are used to describe him, there is no doubt that Martin Edge is one of the most experienced and gifted instructor of underwater photography there is. His latest book \'The Underwater Photographer – Digital and Traditional Techniques\' was published in April 2006 and has taken the underwater photographic world by storm. Numerous reviews claim the book to be the best published on this particular topic to date. The 4th translation of this book (in Russian) will be released in May 2008. \"Whilst I am stimulated by numerous aspects of picture taking, my passion is to help others improve and develop their own abilities with a camera. I get so much satisfaction in seeing people which I have worked with become accomplished award winning uw photographers. I am very fortunate to have such a great and rewarding job.\"

Above all I am looking for three specific qualities - Efficiency, enthusiasm and credibility. My photo workshop trip bookings can be particularly complex. Dive-resorts in tropical destinations have to be flexible and efficient in their service. Underwater photographers like to dive at particular times of the day and night in order to take advantage of various photo opportunities, therefore excessive regimentation is unhelpful.
