Duxy offers photo advice at Tasik Ria

From 6-28 September Duxy will be offering help with shooting and editing topside and underwater images, including those taken at dive sites in the nearby Bunaken National Park (pictured).

"If you're planning to book a trip during this period and want to get some help shooting and editing your photos, and regardless of whether you are an absolute beginner or a keen photo geek, then this is the time to come," says Duxy.

"Of course this part of the world is famous for its top-class diving, and underwater photography help is a big thing on the agenda. But it would be a shame to only shoot under water, as this area has got so much more to offer the budding travel photographer with its bustling exotic markets, volcanic landscapes and vibrant rain forests."

About 30 minutes' drive from Manado, Tasik Ria Resort & Spa is a "peaceful and scenic family-run luxury resort" catering for both divers and non-divers.
