HOLY COW!  9 days!              

November 6-15, 2022 3 spots left

I have always wanted to go to all the islands on a single trip and here is.  Nine days of diving including all the islands we can get to, a night stop at Avalon on Catalina Island, possible San Nicolas or Cortes Banks and a group of people that I love to dive with on my trips.  9 days will give us the ability to decide where are the best conditions for each island whether we are up in the north or down in the south.  Only 20 paying divers allowed on the "Vision" https://truthaquatics.net/about/fleet/vision/ which usually takes 35, lots of room for us and our cameras.  We will leave on November 6 at 10pm or the 7th at 4am depending on whether we go to the northern or southern islands.  We will be back on the 15th at about 5pm.  Every day I will get with the captain and decide where is the best diving, people with only 3 days never get to do this!

California scuba diving in the kelp forests around the Channel Islands is a unique and different experience for divers more accustomed to tropical waters. Diving in kelp is similar to a walk in a lush forest of trees with these plants growing to heights of more than 120 feet. Giant kelp helps support this rare aquatic ecosystem, providing domicile for more than 800 species of marine life.

Testimonials

"I can’t say enough about Richard’s workshops! Each time I attend I’m surprised at how much deeper my knowledge of photography becomes.  I like to use Richard’s photos as inspiration and really enjoy diving alone as a self reliant diver to do my photography."

Rob Sloan, California

In all my experience I have never taken a workshop that got to the meat of the matter so well. Your explanation of possible lighting variations and why and how to use them was very thorough. Your use of the “Kurble” toy model was masterful; it immediately demonstrated the lighting underwater. There was no guessing where the lighting came from; it was evident on the model. 

The advice on approaching fishes and other wildlife gave me some new techniques.

Great stuff; count me in on the next one!
