One of the big reasons why Alor and Komodo are such suitable destinations for snorkeling photography workshops is that each destination offers us something very unique as underwater photographers, not to mention that each location is outrageously beautiful. In Alor we will be surrounded by vast shallow coral plateaus, walls, and sloping reefs where we'll have the opportunity to explore and understand the nuances of wide-angle underwater photography. Not only that, but just in front of Alami Alor Resort- our host resort for the duration of our stay- is an outstanding house reef where critters like nudibranchs, a myriad of lionfish species, cuttlefish, and really rare species, like mandarin fish, call home. With untethered access to this house reef and its inhabitants, we'll really be able to spend our time learning how to capture beautiful fish portraits and up-close macro shots. Komodo, on the other hand, combines many of the same wide-angle opportunities we will have had in Alor- stunning shallow coral reefs and a house reef teeming with marine life big and small-with opportunities to encounter big fish and turtles. Komodo is one of Indonesia's oldest protected marine reserves, and as a result, the area is home to a robust population of manta rays, several species of sea turtle and reef shark, and large schools of big fish up in the shallows. Given this quintessential combination of vast reef systems and marine life, we will switch gears a bit and start focusing more on how to photograph these larger marine subjects, but also how to approach species like mantas and turtles so as to preserve the interaction for as long as possible, giving us the best opportunities to capture these beautiful marine giants.

Set Sail on Serenity: A Catamaran Adventure Through Croatia's Paradise Croatia, a jewel nestled in the Adriatic Sea, beckons with its turquoise waters, ancient cities, and endless charm. But what if you could experience it all at your own pace, the rhythm of the waves your only guide? Enter the magic of catamaran sailing – a luxurious and liberating way to explore Croatia's hidden coves and vibrant coastline. Why Catamaran? Catamarans, with their twin hulls, offer unparalleled stability and spacious decks. Imagine waking up to a sunrise over a calm bay, the gentle rocking of the boat your lullaby. Picture yourself lounging on the expansive nets, sun-kissed and carefree, as the crystal-clear water beckons for a swim. Catamarans provide ample space for relaxation, while also allowing you to navigate shallow bays inaccessible to larger yachts. Croatia's Alluring Islands Await Croatia boasts over 1,200 islands, each with its own unique personality. Your catamaran adventure can be completely customized, allowing you to island-hop at your leisure. Explore the bustling port town of Hvar, known for its nightlife and elegant harbor. Immerse yourself in history at Korčula, a medieval town said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. Discover the serenity of Vis, a haven for nature lovers with hidden beaches and secluded coves. Beyond the Islands: Cultural Gems and Culinary Delights Croatia's mainland is equally captivating. Sail into Split, a vibrant city boasting a UNESCO-protected Diocletian's Palace at its heart. Dubrovnik, the "Pearl of the Adriatic," will mesmerize you with its ancient walls and charming squares. As you explore each port, indulge in Croatia's rich culinary scene. Savor fresh seafood, sip on local wines, and savor the flavors of the Mediterranean.
