Join us on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia to photograph one of the most unique species of marine life, the Leafy seadragon. These stunning creatures are found nowhere else in the world except the Great Southern Reef of Australia. No matter what level of photography or videography experience you have, Scott Portelli will be on hand daily to help you get the most out of your photography.
There will be time each evening to review and edit your images to optimise your photography and improve your approach. This will be a small group expedition, maximum 4 people, suitable for certified SCUBA divers with temperate water experience.
We aim to dive 3 different locations across the peninsula during the workshop period and depending on the conditions and the abundance of marine life we may stick to one or two specific dive sites.
Learn about Leafy Seadragons, their behaviour, habitat and ecology as you photograph these endemic marine creatures.
These are some of the rarest creatures on our planet, you won’t want to miss out on this very special experience.
