Trip Reviews
I had hoped to spoil Ran’s 100% 5-star rating record, but I couldn’t work out how to award his Puerto Galera photography course 6 stars… it was immensely helpful, and lots of fun to boot.
Our group were a mixed bunch, ranging from people who had been taking photos underwater for a long time, to mad-keen divers who hadn’t tried UW photography before; Ran’s classroom presentations gave something to everyone – helpful revision and new ideas for the more experienced, and a whole (slightly scary) new view of how to take photos rather than snapshots for the less experienced.
Ran is wonderfully good-humoured – even when he’s exhausted by looking after us all – and his critiques are always positive and helpful.
Thank you!
I had the good fortune to join a Dive and More trip to Puerto Galera and loved every minute of it. Ran was our trip leader and did an excellent job of organising a trip with the perfect balance of comfort, adventure and discovery. The selection of Atlantis Dive Resort was superb, offering spectacular diving and great facilities for photography and classes, as well as great food!
Ran held 4 very informative tutorials to help us improve our photography techniques, with a bonus one on one session for some personalised development. He made himself available throughout the trip and especially during dives to troubleshoot issues and provide tips for ongoing improvement. I will be keeping my eye out for more great trips and would recommend Dive and More if you want a diving holiday combining fun with learning where everything is taken care of for you.
Thanks Ran and Danielle for an amazing experience.
Dive and More made my trip to the Philippines absolutely wonderful! From the beginning to the end / Airfare, Lodging, Diving. I’m a GoPro beginner stepped up to a mirrorless Sony A6500 and had very little knowledge about my camera/underwater photography.
With the three day workshop/classes/the 1 on 1. I better understand my camera and settings. Thanks Dive And More. knowledgeable, friendly, helpful in every way.
Sea 🙂 you all on the next trip.
