I am seriously considering attending one of the 3 mermaid portfolio workshops hosted by Malena Sharkey this summer. I would very much like to get some feedback from other mers that have attended in the past. What were the pros/cons of each one? How do they compare? Which do you recommend for a "first-timer"?
I was initially considering the Exuma Cays trip, but then I realized it was 7 days on a boat. I'm a bit picky about hygiene, food, etc., so that MAY not be the best option for me. However, the images from that trip are so stunning! I may just have to challenge myself.
I am also very interested in the Isla Mujeres option with the whale sharks. This one is more "land-based" AND I love the idea of swimming with these creatures! Last year, they allowed for a guest to attend with you on this trip as well, which I am also more comfortable with.
I would also like to hear about other issues: travel concerns, safety, how the workshops are structured etc. Was it an overall positive experience? How are the "coach" mers? How much time do you have with each photographer?
Any info would be appreciated! thanks!!
