More and more people dive with a camera these days so here at Moby we want to help. We are working to make your dive holiday here on Gozo the best it possibly can be and as part of that we are looking at the ways we can make things easier for you photographers whether you are using a compact, compact plus wet lenses, micro four thirds or DSLRs and all the strobes.
Moby Dives has set up a dedicated area for photographers that will be separated from the hustle and bustle of the main dive centre. Facilities include a clean table for assembly, with charging banks for all your batteries and a dedicated rinse tank for your cameras.
We recognise that guided diving and photography don't always work well together. Whilst the non photographer is happy to follow our expert guides and instructors along a typically circular route that takes in the best spots at each dive site this often doesn't suit the photographer who would rather take as long as it takes to get the shot right and not feel that he hast to keep up with the group. To that end we are offering small group specialised guided dives aimed only at photographers with a maximum of 3 divers per group.
Our in-house photographer Pete Bullen will be on hand all year to offer advice, guided diving at a photographer's pace and full dedicated weeks of coaching whatever your camera.
Pete says that he views underwater photography as breaking down into 4 distinct areas
Gozo is a beautiful island with abundant landscape photography opportunities. Spend a day, weekend or week with award winning photographer Pete Bullen, be guided to some of the most beautiful spots on the island, everything from world heritage sites to rarely seen ancient Punic temples, stone circles older than Stonehenge and caves inhabited for over 7000 years with majestic views over the island, soaring cliffs, tranquil bays and scenic spots for sunset or sunrise shots. Gozo has all this and much more.
Typical itinerary:
All this and much more by either jeep with minimal walking or taken as a rambling day taking in the cliff tops and and scenic sights of Gozo
Pete offers expert guiding and coaching in landscape photography and post trip editing with instruction in Adobe Lightroom.
Other photo opportunities include a day's underwater photograph snorkeling in our beautiful clear waters with waterproof cameras or for qualified divers, dive with Pete to see and photograph some of our best underwater dive sites. All dive gear and waterproof cameras provided subject to availability.
