Alex Mustard continually raises the bar in underwater photography and divers travel from all over the globe to learn from the master himself.

2017 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for worldwide workshops with Alex. In addition to his regular Red Sea summer events, Alex will be jetting off to Cuba in August.

“I have long been excited about running a workshop in Cuba,” says Alex. “Now with the launch of the Jardines Aggressor in summer 2016, there is an international quality liveaboard experience to match the diving.”

Your adventure starts in Havana for 2 nights before you jump on board your luxury liveaboard for 7 nights.  There’s never been a better time to dive Cuba.  This is virgin territory with vast swathes of pristine reefs, steep walls and caves. Expect to find a healthy shark population and huge schools of fish. The stunning viz makes it ideal for underwater photographers. The trip has also been timed to coincide with potential mass coral spawning. Alex will be on hand throughout with nightly presentations, image reviews and 1:1 tuition.  This trip is fully available to all nationalities, including US citizens through the Cuba Travel Program. There is no minimum camera requirement, although the trip is aimed at enthusiastic underwater photographers.

The workshop runs from 10 -19th August 2017.  Your holiday package includes all meals and accommodation for 9 nights, 2 full days land activities in Havana, transfers, all diving, prepaid park & conservation fees and Alex Mustard’s workshop. For UK divers, the cost per person is £4750 in a deluxe or £4950 in a master cabin. Flights are excluded, but Scuba Travel is able to add flight arrangements from the UK.
