Workshop Reviews
“My expectations have been set so high, I don’t know if anyone else could match them.”
I booked a three-day underwater photography workshop with Shawn in the cenotes, and the entire experience was flawless. Every shot was timed with light rays and customized for the images I dreamed of. I even got incredible portraits of myself as a bonus. Shawn and Arthur planned every frame with intention and grace. It was the best dive experience of my life.

Meet Your Coach
Over the last decade, I developed a system for creating consistent underwater images —
• The caves of the Yucatán
• Macro ecosystems in Southeast Asia
• Large shark encounters in the Bahamas
• Historic shipwrecks of the Great Lakes
These environments taught me how diving, light, and photography truly work together.
Now I teach that system — so you can progress faster, avoid wasted dives, and start producing strong images with intention.
Shoot. Learn. Level Up.
