Aboard the Truk Odyssey
 |
Your host will be Bonnie Pelnar, author of "The Digital Workflow for Underwater Photographers", part of a series of courses available at TheUnderwaterPhotographer.com.
This workshop is designed to show you how to use your digital camera and get the best shots possible when shooting underwater. The workshop is for all skill levels - no camera is too big or too small! During this trip you will have the opportunity to learn how to overcome the challenges you'll discover when shooting wrecks, but Truk diving is about much more than just wrecks. The soft coral and pelagics are a special treat too.
In addition to shooting tips and techniques, you'll also learn all about how to improve the images you've captured by using Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Elements.
7 nights accommodations, 5 1/2 days diving, all meals, Nitrox fills for Nitrox certified*divers, round-trip transfers & taxes.
Starting at $2695 per person

Onboard you’ll find amenities consistent with the world’s top liveaboards: six large staterooms (14’ x 8’) with either king size or 2 twin beds; two private single staterooms (11’ x 6’); and one stateroom (10’ x 9’) with a double/twin bunk. ALL staterooms have private ensuite facilities, air-conditioning controls, DVD player, and carpeting.
On the dive deck you'll have your own private dive station and protected dive locker, so you won't have to take your gear apart until you prepare to go home. Your tank (air or Nitrox) will be conveniently filled at your seat.
The 13’ x 6’ dive platform has plenty of room for two divers plus a Divemaster. Two 7’ ladders help you out of the water where you can step up to the convenient freshwater shower to rinse off with. You'll find the camera rinse tanks (one on either side of the boat). In the center of the dive deck is a sturdy, 3-tiered, carpeted photo table.
There's plenty of space to hang your wetsuit on the bar just in front of the protected fan blowing warm air out of the engine room! This means nice warm wetsuits for your next dive!
On the Saloon deck there is a gorgeous, large dining area decorated in Fijian teak and coconut wood giving the room a warm, inviting glow. The dining salon is fully carpeted and air conditioned with two walls of spacious windows for viewing the beauty of the islands in Truk Lagoon. Meals are served buffet-style and the food is fantastic! Breakfast includes a hot breakfast plus toast, cereals, fruit and juices. Guests are served lunch and snacks throughout the day. Full dinner is served every night, complete with amazing desserts.
Just behind the dining salon is a nice size sun deck with lounge chairs and deck chairs. There is also a covered section where you can still be outside, but not in direct sun. This is also were we meet for the dive briefings.
Downstairs you'll find a large separate entertainment lounge with TV, VCR (PAL & NTSC), DVD, stereo, library, large slide table, and bar with a well-stocked fridge. There is also a boutique for you shoppers.
