More than many other destinations in the Caribbean, Curaçao ripples with a huge variety of stories. You want bustling culture, night life, food, music, history -- it's all here. You want world-class wrecks, walls, incredible night diving and a varied and pristine underwater world -- it's here (and wrapped in crystal-clear blue water.
We're taking along a small group of budding photojournalists on a Sport Diver assignment. We will mentor, inspire and help you find the heart of your story, and help you find and capture images that show the heartbeat of your experience. We've left plenty of time in the itinerary for you to explore the island to find a unique story, along with plenty of group dives to give you a solid overview of the variety of experiences available.
But the best part is you'll be able to write a story and/or submit your images for consideration for publication. At least one of the participants' stories will be showcased in Sport Diver, and the rest will appear exclusively on www.sportdiver.com.

"Letter from The Editor"
Hi Guys!
Thanks for your inquiry into the Photojournalism trip to Curacao. I hope you’ll join us on this trip of a lifetime. We’ve got an incredible itinerary lined up for you. You’ll get access and time on dive sites and behind the scenes in Curacao that aren’t available on any other itinerary. And, I’m always looking for new writers and photographers to contribute to the magazine. This could be your entrée into this amazing lifestyle. No matter what, you’ll see what it’s like to go on an actual assignment for the magazine and how we find the stories and how we make the images that evoke a strong sense of place. Expect to explore, search, seek, find and experience all that Curacao has to offer.
Like all “assignments” we’re constantly on the go. But like all assignments, you’ll have the time around the schedule to pursue the story that you’re most passionate about.
Spaces are limited. Hope to see you at one of my favorite destinations in the Caribbean.
Cheers!
Ty Sawyer
Editor, Sport Diver magazine
