Digital Shootout 2002 Bonaire


	Digital Demo Day: Have you thought about getting into digital photography but not sure where to begin? Would you like to try it first and see for yourself? Come to the Digital Shootout and try it all for free. Light & Motion and Olympus have teamed up to provide the hottest underwater digital system, the C-3040 and the Tetra housing. Shootout participants can sign up for a day with this system and get expert hand on instruction from the pros. Space is limited, so sign up early.
	Here's how it works. Right after breakfast we'll meet for a one hour class to cover basic concepts and camera operation. With a camera in your hand and our easy to follow instructions we'll prep the housing and get ready to dive. We'll then all walk down to the beach together and get in the water. Our expert staff will dive right along with you making sure you're on the right track and capturing beautiful underwater images. After the dive you will learn how to download your images to a computer and we'll burn a CD for you. After that, we'll do it all over again. We'll prep the camera system and let you use it for the rest of the day. You can dive as many times as you like. (Remember, space is limited so register early to guarantee a spot.) If you already own a Tetra system feel free to sit in on the class. You're welcome to follow along with your own camera and join us on the dive. Who knows, you might just learn a trick or two.
