Comments	Not a dive trip but a photo workshop. Luca was my instructor. What makes this workshop unique in my experience is that it is one-on-one and very instruction oriented. Basically there was an hour or so of explanation/presentation on some aspect of UW photography. Then we geared up and walked in. Luca would ask me to photograph a particular feature, look at my photograph, make a suggestion as to something I would want to consider, and then we'd iterate until he was satisfied. Communication was via a slate. The workshop focus was on composition, lighting, aperture and shutter speed primarily for wide angle where it really matters. My equipment was not ideal for this as my strobe arms are not long. Nor was my experience which has been almost entirely macro. But that's why it was really useful for improving my skills. I was staying an hour away from Tulamben and they picked me up each day. They handled all gear and brought my equipment to me in the water (saving me a stroll across the rocky beach). They also provided drinking water and lunch. My only issue with these arrangements was that I had to ask what the arrangements were; that should have been in the information that they sent me. I am very pleased with the entire process and workshop. Based on these two days, I would not hesitate to join them on what of their underwater photography trips. It would likely be a real pleasure.
