BLUE O TWO THROUGH THE LENS UW PHOTO TRIP

HI,

I have booked myself a trip in July on a " Through The Lens" UW Photo Trip on MY Blue Fin, the itenirary is quite varied and includes The Brothers Islands and Northern Red Sea Dive Sites which include wrecks, reefs and shallower dives etc - all being weather dependant. There is also evening workshops using photoshop etc. The guides are Dray and Karin VanBeeck who seem to have a very good reputation.

I have been on 3 UW Phototrips all with Alan James (2 in Nuweiba shore based the other in Sardinia using day boats) i have always got a lot out these trips and found them to an excellent way of progressing and picking new idea's, most of all it nice to dive with like minded people. Its also my first liveaboard trip as well.

I did look at the Martin Edge Photo Trip with Tony Backhurst but this seemed very expensive especially as you expected to do a one day workshop with Martin prior to travel.

If anyone has any feed back it would be greatly apprecaitted.

Hi Brian,

WOW !!! you like your photo trips...

I was on the Blue Horizon with Dray last December (not a course just a stock trip) and he is a very good shooter and a great guy... I never met his wife but saw one of her vids and was impressed... Blue o two ran a tight ship and couldn't IMHO have been much better...

Have a good and educational trip

Dive safe

No doubt you'll have a great trip on the one you've booked. I can honestly say I have no feedback to offer on the boat or the guides.

However, when I was at Reef Photo talking to Ryan, I asked about which uw photo instructors he recommended. He did tell me that Martin Edge was one of the very best. I've never been on one of his workshops and I'm actually booked on Alex Mustard's uw photo workshop in January in Grand Cayman but I did want to let you know of the very high praise that Ryan had for Martin Edge. Perhaps you might consider booking a trip with him in the future if funds permit.

Have a good time in July on your trip in the Red Sea!
