Join Scubaverse’s Underwater Photo Pros on a unique Philippines workshop
Why not join Nick and Caroline on a trip to remember in 2020?
On a recent trip to The Philippines, Scubaverse Underwater Photo team Nick and Caroline from Frogfish Photography visited Magic Oceans in Anda on Bohol Island to write about their experience for www.scubaverse.com and Dive Travel Adventures magazine. They were blown away by the incredible diversity of the diving and marine life in this quiet region of the island.
You can read about their trip in Issue 2 of Dive Travel Adventures here.
You can also read about their macro diving experience, their amazing encounter with Shaun the Sheep and a night dive to remember on the Scubaverse Blog.
Nick and Caroline are returning to Magic Oceans Dive Resort in May 2020 to host Magic Photo Experience – a unique Underwater Photography Workshop – and you can join them!
The group trip is a unique collaboration between Scubaverse, Frogfish Photography, Magic Oceans and Dive Worldwide, where divers and underwater photographers can join a fun-loving and like-minded group of people to share this incredible experience.
With aquarium-like reefs and a dazzling array of marine life, the coastline of Anda on Bohol Island is worthy of a place on any divers wish list. Set amongst tropical gardens, Magic Oceans in an intimate resort with a fabulous house reef catering for divers with a sense of adventure. Whilst macro diving is high on the agenda, there are plenty of larger highlights and modern facilities for photographers. It is the perfect base from which to explore.
If you love your macro critters, then this is the place for you! Give the guide your list of must-see encounters and they will use their eagle-eyes to find you whatever tiny critter you have your heart set on to photograph. A host of colourful nudibranchs (including Shaun the Sheep), frogfish, octopus, pygmy seahorses and more. The night dive is incredible, with plenty of tiny crustaceans and critters to keep you entertained.
The region is also blessed with beautiful walls covered in bright corals, so wide angle enthusiasts can join in on the fun. Turtles relax in the shallows on the top of these prolific reefs. This really is paradise.
Join Nick and Caroline, underwater photographers and biologists, as they return to this fantastic location. This bespoke trip includes unlimited diving, photography workshops and evening presentations about the local marine life. You might even find yourself featuring in their next blog, magazine article or book!

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
