We have chartered a Phinisi Schooner for a series of underwater photo trips through the famed Komodo Islands in eastern Indonesia. These trips are organised and guided by Australian underwater photo-journalist Jeff Mullins and his wife Dawn, who currently live in Bali.
These are dive trips for experienced divers. Included is personal photo help for any interested guests, as well as evening round-table underwater photo editing workshops using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.
We are maximising time at the area's peak photographic sites and there will be a maximum of 10 divers/photographers onboard, the size of the groups has been limited to offer the best in personal help with photography and to minimise the number of divers on each dive site at one time.
This trip is not just for underwater photographers, it will also appeal to experienced divers who are interested in marine life and exploring reefs, without having inexperienced divers floundering around you!

Details of our September 2009 trip are:

* Depart Bali Sunday 13th September 2009 - 10am flight to Flores (approx 1hour 30 minutes flight time).
