Eco-diving and underwater photograhy cruises
We organise a underwater photography seminar between
3-10 May.
Discover a whole new world underwater! Join us on an unusual photographic
trip, where you will get acquainted with the undersea creatures and
grow more intimate connections with the world you visit during your
scuba diving. And while on this trip.., why not make some art out
of it?
Underwater photography cannot exist without the love for the marine
environment. The underwater photographer, more than any other diver,
comes face to face with all the underwater beings and experiences
first hand the life aquatic.
This contact will open the door to a whole new world for you, where
the diver really becomes one with the underwater setting, enjoying
the undersea light and shadows, motion, interacting with marine wildlife.
You will approach the moving animals in such a way as not to frighten
them, observe and record different behaviours and draw pleasure from
the experience of just being there and living the moment, even if
sometimes you don't actually capture the perfect image. And if the
image is perfect? well, you can imagine the overwhelming feeling of
such an experience!
During this cruise, you will have the chance to:
- be introduced to the basic photographic techniques and be shown
the way these same techniques are applied to the underwater environment
- get to know the underwater photographer's tools and have a hands-on
experience by using our underwater equipment
- learn as you practice and grow your own personal style of u/w
photography
- get advice on improving your u/w photography techniques and tips
on getting those mouth-opening photo captures of marine life you
have always been dreaming of!
This cruise will in be led by our underwater photographer Yiannis
Issaris. In order to ensure the best results, only licensed divers
(PADI Open Water, CMAS One Star Diver etc) can participate this time.
Be one of them!
This is the world of Underwater Photography: The Eco Way! All you
need to bring with you is the thirst for new discoveries, leaving
the rest to us?
The Yacht
TAHITA Sun Kiss 45
The Sun Kiss 45 is one of the most exceptional and elegant classical
models created by Jeanneau, known and recognised for its strength
and sailing capabilities, for sailing as well as cruising the world
over.
Tahita can accommodate 10 people in its 4 double cabins and skipper
cabin. There are 2 toilets/showers and a stern shower on the diving
platform. In order to guarantee the maximum space and comfort for
our guests, we take up to 6 people each time, while keeping the cost
at a minimum.
The overall interior finish is of very high quality with genuine
teak woodwork and ''solid wood'' mouldings. There is ample headroom
in its double cabins and the entry is nice and free of clutter. The
yacht has double ventilators, good stowage shelves and hanging lockers.
All of this contributes to the comfort of those aboard.
The lateral beaming of the coachroof gives a particular character
to the saloon which hails back to the days of wooden construction
with beaming extending from the floor beams. The double series of
horizontal screens offer exceptional lighting.
Our cockpit is spacious and comfortable. There is ample space on
the teak deck for you to lie down and sunbathe.
