Want to learn or better your video skills? Join our dedicated underwater videography workshop at Siladen Resort & Spa from 19th to 26th November 2022, featuring N2Pix’s award winning, underwater imaging pros Julie Ouimet & Michel Labrecque.
The weeklong event is open to all levels of videographers and divers and is designed for participants to learn and better underwater video shooting techniques, as well as correcting and editing video footage.
Divers hoping to sharpen their video skills with any camera system, basic or more sophisticated, will benefit from this workshop. It’s also the perfect opportunity for photographers who like to dabble in video to hone their skills and adapt their techniques.

In 2016, Michel was named a PADI Ambassador and in 2019, Julie was inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame.
Siladen’s surrounding waters are an ideal location for video imagery. They offer varied environments, each with their specific challenges. The Bunaken National Marine Park is a wide-angle heaven with its spectacular walls and diverse marine life which includes countless turtles.
Nearby shallow areas allow for macro and muck opportunities, not to mention a host of night denizens that include weird and sought after creatures. The dark is also a wonderful time to capture hunting behaviors.
