Underwater Photography workshops
Transform your images—elevate your vision.
For over a decade, I’ve explored and photographed underwater worlds worldwide — from beam-lit caverns and freshwater springs to vibrant coral reefs, open-ocean giants, and rare marine wildlife.
My underwater photography workshops are immersive, hands-on training experiences with in-water, 1-on-1 guidance. You’ll learn the exact lighting, composition, and camera techniques I use to capture professional-quality images. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or new to underwater photography, you’ll leave with the skills — and a portfolio — to prove it.

Cenote Workshop - Sept-June, 2025-26
Three days. Beam-lit caverns. Surreal freshwater worlds where light becomes liquid. This is cenote photography at its most transformative.
Cozumel Workshop - Jan 15-19, 2026
Crystal clear reefs. Wide-angle shots of turtles, eagle rays, and massive coral structures. At night, the reef lights up — bioluminescence, squid, and Fluero photography!
Wild Dolphin Expedition - Aug 1-7, 2026
7 days in The Bahamas. Pods of Atlantic spotted and bottlenose dolphins in crystal-clear water. Freediving sessions morning to night, with chances to photograph them in sunlight, twilight, and even while they hunt squid after dark.
Jupiter Workshop – August 8–11, 2026
Wrecks, reefs, sharks, and the annual Goliath grouper aggregation. Four days of diving and photography training in South Florida — from twilight long exposures to wide-angle shark encounters. Includes night dives at Blue Heron Bridge, pro lighting seminars, and a wild shark safari.
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.
