Hi folks,

My friends Graham and Anne Ferguson at Oceanaddicts in Kinsale have organised an Underwater Photography Workshop with renowned underwater photographer and videographer John Collins. The workshop will take place on board their newly refurbished Liveaboard "Embarr" the weekend of the 18th and 19th September. It will include B&B, lunch and four dives. Diving will take place from their 8.8M Rib "Oisre". John will be availab...le throughout the weekend to offer help and advice on how to improve your photography. There are limited spaces left for this and there will be max of 8 divers attending the course so that people receive the full benefit of John’s knowledge. The workshop will cost €250. The diving around Cork is first class so it promises to be a great weekend.

To book please Contact Anne Ferguson on 087-7903211 or by email anne @ oceanaddicts.ie

Info on John Collins (Photographer):
John Collins is an award-winning photographer, based in Kinsale, Co. Cork, Ireland. Originally from Limerick, he discovered photography as a teenager and with it a life-long passion to capture images of the world around us. While studying Pharmacy in Trinity College Dublin, he learned to scuba-dive with Dublin University Sub-Aqua Club and went on to gain experience both in Ireland and abroad, eventually becoming a diving instructor in 1991.
John is a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography course in professional photography. On land, John continues to work on landscape and documentary photographs, producing unique images of the beautiful areas around Kinsale and west Cork.
John specializes in Underwater Photography, particularly in his home waters and other temperate seas that are less visited and appreciated than the coral seas of the tropics. A collection of these images have been published in the book, Cool Waters Emerald Seas, published by Atrium in 2006. Many of John’s photographs have been successful in competition and are widely published internationally. As Divers we can really appreciate John’s ability to capture glimpses of our unique underwater landscape, the life that inhabits it and the ships that have been wrecked in it.
