Maria has helped thousands of guests across the world since she started her passion, the first being Erick Higuera, National Geographic Explorer, BBC Planet Contributor, recent contributor to BBC Mammals, Award-Winning Filmmaker and Netflix "Oceans." It only seems like yesterday when he started off with a compact camera, an Olympus 5060, knowing nothing at all when I shared my knowledge with him over a coffee in La Paz, Mexico, back in 2004.
Daniel Norwood came to me in 2007 not knowing how to use his strobe effectively with his Fuji F31. After a one day course he went away and won the British Society of Underwater Photographer's competition beating the Chairman by 27 points, won Sport Diver Diver Photographer of the Month and became an award-winning filmmaker and photographer and is now the editor of DivePhotoGuide, the world's largest online magazine.
David Smith came on a beginners course in Oxford and went on to win Countryfile's Calendar of the Year Competition.
Rebecca Cole came on a one-day course with me and won Sport Diver Photographer of the Month twice and has written for the Guardian newspaper.
These are just to name a few of the success stories.
As always Maria is on hand every step of your underwater photography journey to help with advice and guide you whenever you need to achieve beautiful eye-catching images without the need for editing.
