I wanted to extend a heartfelt "thank you" for the outstanding experience we recently had on the Socorro trip. This was my first adventure with Bluewater and I was nothing short of very impressed. We divers were so fortunate to have your guidance and support as we worked to build our underwater photography skills. I learned a lot in a very short period of time. The nightly workshops were chock full of helpful information. You are a master at sharing your wisdom and presenting it in a way that makes something that can be complicated easier to absorb. I also noticed how willingly you offered to be a resource on other diver-related matters. Needless to say, I am sold on using Bluewater as my go to source for dive trips and camera equipment! I look forward to participating in future photography underwater trips you lead!

Nirupam was an excellent trip leader and photo guide. I really enjoyed his one-on-one coaching as well as the presentations, and I would definitely sign up for one of his future workshops.
