A VERY SPECIAL & UNIQUE UNDERWATER PHOTO / VIDEO EVENT AT A WORLD CLASS DESTINATION
You can choose to spend a week on board the Pelagian live aboard, or 11 days at Wakatobi resort - or both! There's plenty of opportunity to participate and hone your underwater photo or video skills among some of the healthiest reefs in the world.
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! (Read the DPG report from our recent trip to Wakatobi.)
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.
Guests aboard the Pelagian will dive further into the archipelago, including a recently discovered muck site.
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.
H2O Photo Pros will be on site both weeks 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.
UNLIMITED SHOOTING
Both weeks will culminate in a contest where each
participant can enter their best images and videos from the week for a
chance to win over $10,000 in prizes! The "shootout" format will be
split into "open" and "novice" categories. Participants found
