We recommend you come in on Sat. July 16th and stay through Sat. July 23.

Cozumel in July guarantees calm, warm water, bright blue skies, 100’+ visibility and underwater colors that can only be found in Cozumel. This 5-day workshop is perfect for all levels of photographer from beginner to advanced. No camera is too big or too small. We'll show you how to use your digital camera and get the best shots possible both topside and underwater. Here's your chance to pick up photo pointers from real photo pros and improve your own underwater shooting techniques.

This workshop is lead by Bonnie Pelnar, who has been leading photography workshops around the world for the past 10 years. She has made 35 trips to Cozumel and knows where and how to find the best Cozumel has to offer AND she can show you how to capture it with your camera! Bonnie has a passion for Isla Cozumel. You won't find a better tour guide.

This year Blue Abyss Photo will be joining us and will bring lots of demo gear for you to try out. At the end of the week we’ll award prizes for the best photos taken during the week! This year we've got bigger and better prizes than ever! Our gracious sponsors have provided lots of swag, and we'll have oceans of fun. Everybody wins something!

​

In addition to the informative presentations and slide shows, Bonnie and Dave will be available to dive with you each day. We 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. And don't forget...Scuba Club Cozumel offers FREE unlimited shore diving. The area in front of SCC is the BEST shore diving in Cozumel. Cozumel muck diving at its finest!

This year will be our biggest and best yet, with great prizes, photo pros, demo gear and more!

Here is what some of our past workshop attendees had to say...

"This was one of the best dive trips I have ever done. Bonnie seems to have the perfect formula mix of having fun as well as serious underwater photography instruction for those wanting to improve their uw images. I had just bought a new housing for my digital camera and Bonnie patiently answered my numerous questions on the new rig. She also shared her vast knowledge freely with the participants. I plan on doing future UW Photography Workshops with Bonnie."
Ellen - Portland, Oregon

"Bonnie is a great teacher. She's very patient and knows her stuff. Everyone came away with great new tools for photography. I especially liked her Photoshop classes."
Andrea - Laguna Niguel, California

"We had a marvelous time at Scuba Club Cozumel with Bonnie last February. I can't wait to go again! She has great tips for getting the best presentation from my underwater photos. Besides, it's PARTY TIME whenever Bonnie is around, ha!"
Helena - Mammoth Lakes, California

"Just when the vacation began to wear off and I started to get back into the swing of reality I received a DVD in the mail from Bonnie. It was a collection of photos from our workshop trip. It brought tears to my eyes. Some were tears of laughter, others were from the great memories of all the new friends I made while on board the Solmar V. Who knew learning could be so much fun?"
Marj - San Jose

It's getting closer!! I am so psyched. I learned so much from these workshops.
Are you bringing new equipment and toys down for us to play with again this year? Really looking forward to it. I always learn so much.
Like how to Photoshop a Great White behind a diver buddy of mine. hahaha

Yes, we will be contacting everyone in advance to see what cool camera gear you might want to try out. Dave from Blue Abyss Photo will have a bag of goodies. Looking forward to seeing you and diving with you again. Do we need to bring the shark prop or would you rather learn how to do that in Photoshop? ;-)
