Frogfish Photography announce underwater photography tour to South Africa in June 2016
The photo-journalists and owners of Frogfish Photography, Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown, are offering the chance to join them on a workshop to South Africa in June 2016. Some spots on their trip to South Africa have been opened up to divers, underwater photographers and non-divers, to join the team on a dual centre trip in South Africa.
The tour is going to kick off with high adrenalin action at the Sardine Run. Get in the water and see all the action from the greatest shoal on earth. Dolphins, sharks, whales, gannets and seals all get in on this moving feast. With an aerial support team following the action from the sky, the group will head out to the best action areas. This part of the tour will also give you the opportunity to dive Aliwal Shoal for a day, at the start of the trip, to make sure all your equipment is working properly before the main event.
Then the Frogfish team will lead the group south to Cape Town for a week of exploring this amazing region. The itinerary for this week includes several wine tastings in an area famous for fine wines, a day photographing great white sharks, some land based wildlife watching and a day diving with 7 gill sharks too. All this whilst staying at both a vineyard retreat and also a nature reserve to ensure the best Wining & Diving trip possible.
With both the Frogfish team available for advice and tips on photography, this trip is open to all levels of photographer, but is not restricted to those with cameras, as there will be plenty to do in the water and on land to keep everyone happy. You can sign up for a single week or for both weeks – the choice is yours.
The trip is being organised by Hidden Depth Dive Tours. Departing UK on 19th June 2016.

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.
