Martyn's up and coming trips:
10/05/20 Master Macro with Martyn - Dumaguete
Following on from his successful macro workshops, 2020 sees Martyn return to the Philippines, and an area he loves. Atmosphere resort in Dumaguete is well known to seasoned photographers and dive staff that know intimately what subject is hot and where to find them. You can log a lot of hours underwater here. The diving day offers plenty of scheduled departures, with the option to add extra shore dives or night dives. Most diving is by boat and sites are rarely more than 5-10 minutes from the resort.

20/06/20 Cylcone - Red Sea Relaxed
Martyn Says...This is a great trip for anyone interested in underwater photography (or if you are just not feeling confident about using your camera!). Martyn will cover key photography principles to get you up and running in no time, as well as more advanced techniques for experienced shooters. We pick this time as there will be no shortage of great subject matter to shoot, from impressive wrecks to huge schools of fish, especially at Shark and Yolanda reef! MORE INFO AND BOOKING
21/11/20 Whirlwind - Red Sea Relaxed
Martyn Says...A very rewarding, but more relaxing and slower paced alternative to the more usual wrecks and reefs itinerary. With the same amount of dives available but at fewer locations, allowing you to see the best sites at different times of the day, this works brilliantly for photographers but is also proving to be a big hit with people that prefer to take things easier and with less rushing about.
