Anilao Shop Suggestions with Photo Pro/Instruction

[hthomps]

A friend and I are planning to stay for a week in Anilao before joining a larger group in Puerto Galera, and I’d love any recommendations for shops/resorts with a photo pro on staff so I can hone my macro skills. I understand that most guides are super helpful with assisting guests get the shot, but hoping to take it a step further. Thanks!

Trip Report - Live trip updates: USA to Anilao Photo Academy

I'm going to do live updates (or try my best, anyway) so people can live vicariously through my experiences, and hopefully minimize their stress for traveling so soon after reopening. I'm flying out on Thursday from LGA -> DTW -> ICN -> MNL on Delta/Air Korea and will be arriving Friday at about...

Consider the Reef Photo and Video workshop at Ayyanar May 28-June 4.
I've done this twice now; great learning and experience.

Also consdier Anilao Photo Workshops Spring 2022. I've not done this, but one of my friends has, twice, and loved it.

I should have mentioned that we’ll be there the first week of August, but these workshops at least point me towards some good resorts - thank you! I’m also reminded that I should also be searching for any workshops being held the first week in August.

Spent 9 days at Anilao Photo Academy in February-March this year and it was great. Dive guide had an eye for wee stuff, helped with strobes and snooting, and then we'd review photos in the evening, get tips on editing/composition, and set goals for pictures the next day. You could ask "I want to photograph a ...." and they will find it for you. They also had diopters available to borrow, which was great in figuring out what I wanted to buy. Highly recommend! (See my daily trip report, too!)

If you're into blackwater diving, they go out every night if anyone wants to.
