SORRY, THIS TRIP IS SOLD OUT
The
southwest coast of Papua provence has
become one of the newest hot spots for adventure photographers.
Mushroom-shaped limestone islands rise from pristine blue
ocean. Cliffs
hide ancient painted hyroglyphics.
Palm-fringed beaches
and mangroves
surround
deserted islands. This place is a photographer's paradise!
Beneath the water's smooth surface you'll find massive branches of soft coral and sea fans that blanket the reef as far as the eye can see. The colorful fusiliers, anthias and damselfish energize the scene like an explosion of confetti, while swarms of batfish evade the photographers persuit.
This area holds world-class photo opportunities for the muck diver too. Every nook is occupied by exotic invertebrates and are crawling with many shrimp species. Its the best of everything in one small area; Harlequim shrimp, Epaulette shark, pygmie seahoreses, juvenile everything! And this area is a hot spot for finding new species. Getting here is no simple task, yet the most descriminating travelers flock to this area to photograph the undaunting diversity and perhaps even a species that is yet to be discovered.
This photo excursion is limited to eight guests only, so there will be plenty of time to work with each person one-on-one!
We will also offer several underwater photography related
presentations on several of the evenings which include topics
like photo composition, super macro photography, and more.
This trip will be tailored to your needs and requests!
