Join SFUPS and blackwater expert Linda Ianniello to experience the fascinating world of blackwater diving. Learn how to identify and photograph the mesmerizing creatures found in the water column just off our shores as they migrate from the depths at night. If you've been wanting to try a blackwater dive, but are a little apprehensive, this is the perfect opportunity to do so with a group of divers you know.
To add to the fun, we will be holding a “day of” photo contest for trip participants. The winner of this contest will receive a copy of “Blackwater Creatures” by Linda Ianniello and Susan Mears.
