Join a professional underwater photographer for a small-group snorkel and photography workshop in the world-class waters of Ashmore Marine Park — mastering composition, light, and marine behaviour to bring home images worthy of a gallery wall.
What to expect
The session begins with a 30-minute topside briefing covering camera settings, buoyancy technique, and approaching marine life ethically. In the water, your photographer-guide positions you for the shot — a turtle ascending to breathe, a clownfish in its anemone, a hawksbill at the cleaning station. Mid-session breaks allow for real-time image review on a waterproof tablet. The afternoon concludes with a group edit session aboard the vessel where your guide helps you select and process your ten best frames.
Good to know
Participants may bring their own underwater housing; GoPro and mirrorless hire systems are available on request. Comfortable snorkelling ability required — no scuba certification needed. Reef-safe sunscreen only; bring a rash guard for extended time in the water.
