 Underwater photo and video festival Wakatobi : Situated in a small archipelago just Southeast of Sulawesi, in central Indonesia, Wakatobi is truly a slice of paradise with exceptional diving and endless photo and video opportunities. So where better to hold an underwater photo and video festival! You can choose to spend a week on board the Pelagian live aboard, or a week at Wakatobi resort - or both! There's plenty of opportunity to participate and hone your underwater photo or video skills among some of the healthiest reefs in the world. Photographers and videographers will be able to focus on wide angle and macro all day long, both on scheduled boat dives or on the world famous house reef.

Guests aboard the Pelagian will dive further into the archipelago, including a recently discovered muck site. Most evenings will be set aside for reviews and screenings of the day's images and videos. Three workshops will be held during each week for novice to intermediate shooters who wish to polish up on some of the essential skills needed to capture the beauty of the life on the reefs. H2O Photo Pros will be on site both weeks with the latest underwater photo & video gear available for in-water demos, and will be providing underwater video workshops.
