Little Cayman Photography Expedition with Linda Dunk

Dive and take photographs with friends at one of the Caribbean's finest diving resorts

Thursday 29th November - Sunday 9th December 2001 (11 days)

Group Size Limit: 12 divers plus leader.

Leave dismal, dark winter days behind and travel to Little Cayman with Linda Dunk, Diver magazine's 'Underwater Photographer of The Year' in 1998 and one of Britain's most admired exponents of the art. There can be no better way to enjoy diving the superb walls of Little Cayman and taking photographs of the Caribbean's rich underwater life than taking a trip with Linda.

Linda has chosen Little Cayman Beach Resort as the ideal location for her expedition because she believes it has all the necessary ingredients for wonderful diving and, of course, superb underwater photography. Linda believes that successful underwater photography is a synthesis of having a wide choice of subject material, advantageous shooting conditions, the right equipment and a relaxed but creative frame of mind. Bloody Bay Marine Park is famed worldwide for the quality of its diving, and Jackson Wall and Bloody Bay Wall provide wonderful opportunities for both wide-angle and macro photography alike.

As for the relaxed and creative frame of mind, well, there can be no better way to leave the cares of the world behind than to have the company of like-minded friends with whom one can discuss the day's diving and photographs over a quiet rum punch as the sun goes down! With the benefit of E6 processing on site at our chosen location, you can look forward to pooling creative talent to maximize the many photo-opportunities on hand. Add a superb standard of diving management, easy diving conditions, restrictions on diver numbers and the ability to rent camera equipment locally if needed, and all the components are in place for a wonderful stress-free opportunity to take beautiful underwater photographs!
