Browning Pass & God's Pocket - March 2017

I spent the last week of March at the amazing God's Pocket Dive Resort up in Vancouver Island, BC, one of my favorite diving destinations. This trip was also a photography workshop hosted by the inspirational and talented Richard Salas. It was a really fun trip, I met a bunch of new and cool divers, and learned some new perspectives on UW shooting.

The conditions overall were quite good. Visibility was 50-70 feet on most sites, and the weather was mostly agreeable. There was a big blow on the Saturday evening when we were supposed to be picked up from Pt Hardy and we needed to spend the night there. Fortunately we got a pick up first thing the next morning and managed to squeeze in our planned three dives of the day. Crisis averted!

I'll share a few sets of photos from the trip below:

So many stunning photos! Being able to do wide angle so successfully must have been a real treat.
