This was my first experience going on an actual photo workshop. We had image reviews, which were not only fun to see people's images, but also because it made it possible to see what other participants had found and could nerd out over all the different critters. The technique presentations were also fun and informative and could spark creativity and people definitely responded positively to them. No doubt about it, every guest's images improved dramatically from day one through the end of the week. As for the diving itself, Anilao's macro kingdom is known to rival any, up there with Lembeh and Ambon, etc. If you want amazing critters, marine life, reefs, great dive masters, and top notch photography help, this trip is absolutely worth it.
