Simon and Mike Veitch set-up DivePhotoFest , a company which has its sole goal as improving your photography.  They offer a unique blend of one-on-one in water tuition, classroom lectures, and most importantly of all - good fun. 

We understand it's also your vacation and you might well want an afternoon off to visit the spa or to have a cocktail whilst watching the sunset rather than being in the classroom and can adjust our course plan on an individual level to accommodate your needs.

 As we dive frequently in the areas where we teach, we have no need or wish to take our cameras whilst teaching, allowing you to have one of us buddy up with you and help out where ever we can.  We might be helping with the basics such as camera controls and strobe technique.  Or if you are comfortable in your abilities and have just joined us for a photo oriented dive holiday then we might offer advanced tips from time-to-time, or spend our dive finding interesting critters for you to shoot when you are ready.

 If you would like to learn more please visit www.divephotofest.com
