Join us for the Scuba Club Cozumel
Digital Workshop & Photo Contest
May 8-15, 2010

Here's your chance to pick up photo pointers from a pro and improve your underwater photography at our Digital Underwater Photography Workshop and Photo Contest.

Digital cameras and lower cost housings have created a boom in the number of divers who are bringing cameras to capture the beautiful reefs of Cozumel. This workshop is designed to show you how to use your digital camera and get the best shots possible when shooting underwater in Cozumel. No camera is too big or too small! Not only is this workshop a lot of fun, but you'll learn all about how to improve your underwater photography by shooting better and improving on what you've captured by using Adobe Photoshop.

Check out our photo scrapbook for snapshots and our YouTube.com video slideshow of the activities from previous workshops.

Your instructor and host is Bonnie Pelnar, author of "The Digital Workflow for Underwater Photographers", part of a series of courses available at TheUnderwaterPhotographer.com. Bonnie has made over 30 trips to Cozumel and she knows where and how to find the best Cozumel has to offer and can show you how to capture it with your camera.

In addition to the presentations, slide shows and seminars, Bonnie will be available to dive with you each day. We will set up a special photographer's boat, so if you wish to dive with the rest of the shooters, you are welcome to come along.

At the end of the week we'll be having a photo contest with awards and prizes!

The workshop fee is $250 per person
for guests of Scuba Club Cozumel this week.

If your would like to attend please contact Bonnie to reserve your spot. We can no longer accept walk-ins that have not contacted Bonnie in advance.

Course prerequisites: You must be a certified diver with intermediate to advanced diving skills to attend this workshop. The coral reefs are very fragile, so we want to be assured that you have your buoyancy under control before you decide to dive with a camera. If you are comfortable with your buoyancy but haven't dived in a while and would like a refresher, a course in buoyancy control will be available through the dive shop on Saturday, Aug 7 and/or Sunday, Aug 8 before the workshop begins. There is an extra fee for this refresher course. Its highly recommended if you're not used to carrying a camera.
