Insider Divers Reviews 

Words can't really express the gratitude I feel to have this amazing adventure and to get to spend time with such incredible marine life. Under the sea blowing bubbles is my quiet safe .place and I definitely needed mental break from reality. Many, many thanks to Simon Lorenz who is the fantastic trip leader and owner of Insider Divers for his leadership, organization, knowledge and photography. All I had to do was show up and enjoy myself thanks to his hard work. To all my diving friends make sure and check out his page as he has many more adventures planned. This is my 4th trip with him and every penny is worth the amazing adventures he will take you on!

Great company who want to educate divers about photography and marine line and its environment. Looking forward to joining more Inside Divers Academy webinars, which are very informative (and I've been scuba diving for 25 years).

I spent an hour one on one with Simon to go over some Lightroom techniques as well as basic set up of underwater camera housing and strobes. He is very knowledgeable and helped me a lot. He is friendly and extremely helpful. I met him by signing up for one of his webinars. His webinars are also very helpful and fun. If you are an underwater photographer and looking for some help or want to hone your skills, Simon is a great choice.

During these quite particular time, having the great opportunity to follow Simon’s webinars has been amazing! He offers us a great variety of speakers and different approaches to our common passion: the ocean. Really inspiring for new adventures! A point that I really enjoy is how Simon is well articulate, English is not my first language and Simon makes it so understandable and effortless to learn! Thank you!!

Simon and crew have provided excellent tuition, through their passionate and experienced delivery. One major benefit of lockdown has been these sessions. Personally, my knowledge of techniques has improved. I have been encouraged through this medium, to pursue my hobbies further and I hope one day to be as good as some of the experts. Thank you.

excellent online teaching on adobe LR picked up some great tips, learning was easy to follow and encouraged to ask questions. would love to do a photo course if i had the money.

Big Thanks To Simon Lorenz For His Time To Give Us Free Live Webinar Tutorial With Lightroom, With His Knowledge And Experience I Definitly Safe Time And Learned Tips And Procedures That I Had No Idea!!

I have been involved with Simon Lorenz for several years now at Insider Divers particularly his Travel Dive trips and his Photography aimed trips. I would say without question my skill and level of photographs has improved in leaps and bounds to the stage where I have won some competitions, entered into exhibits and even sold an image or two. No through the Covid19 era Simon has taken the initiative to ‘Pay it Foward’ and provide FREE Webinars in LR and PS and also interesting and factual Webinars in Marine Life.
Thanks 🙏 Simon and his guest speakers and in particular the Insider Divers Community for including me into this Family.

Big thanks to Simon Lorenz from Insider Divers for an excellent series of live webinar tutorials on Lightroom and underwater photography - Simon has generously given his time and extensive knowledge and experience to help diving photographers improve their understanding and skill in learning Adobe Lightroom in the context of underwater photography. I've been a photographer for almost 30 years, underwater just 6, and I never stop learning. I've used computers and Photoshop for years, but always struggled with Lightroom, because if you don't understand how Lightroom 'thinks,' you can run into problems very quickly, which happened to me. Since watching Simon's tutorial, I have a new understanding and confidence in Lightroom.

Simon Lorenz and the team from insider divers are doing trips but although webinars that i highly recommend. Simon is really open minded and here to help and take time to do it. If you did not attend to the webinars you should do it now to become better underwater photographer and never stop learning.

During the Covid-10 pandemic, I had a lot of interaction with Insider Divers (ID). It has been nothing less than excellent.
Attentive, prompt and more than anything, the advice given was most valuable.
Kepp it up and best wishes.
Stay Safe

Insider Divers has been wonderful during this time of worldwide shutdown offering free webinars of all sorts. I have particularly enjoyed the 4-part series on Lightroom. What a perfect time to learn to properly edit my photos. Simon has been great, patient, and clear with his teaching. I had never used Lightroom before and now I feel confident editing my pictures. When I do have questions Simon is either there to answer, or I can re-watch the videos on YouTube, and he even provides class notes for quick reference! I also enjoyed the shark photography webinar and firmly believe that the next time I'm out diving my pictures will be much improved thanks to what I learned. I can't wait to have another Insider Divers trip on the liveaboard I work on in Palau but until then I've got plenty to do thanks to the insider Divers crew.

I had the opportunity to join Insider Divers for the Palau dive trip. It was just an amazing experience and an unforgettable life event! The crew was always there for us, Simon had amazing dive spots and awesome guidance. I still dream of an underwater shark paradise and the rich variety of species and untouched nature. Breathtaking!
Unique trip, awesome crew, best guidance and service. Looking forward do next experience!

We just ended our 2nd liveaboard with Insider Divers on the Palau Siren and it was perfection! We are already looking forward to #3. Diving in Palau was spectacular: crystal clear waters, thriving reefs, so many fish, turtles, sharks and mantas. We dived some of the same spots multiple times, but each dive was different. Pauline did an amazing job as our tour guide--when she wasn't sharing photography tips or knowledge of marine life, she was quietly making sure everything went smoothly for our group. She also sent us all a trove of gorgeous photos of everything we saw! I thought our trip to Maldives with Insider Divers was the best, but Palau has exceeded that. The Palau Siren crew was also top notch--great food, great hospitality.

What one needs for unforgettable diving tour? Best diving destination, save diving, study something new and of course, pleasant company. All are there with Insider Divers.
Bonus: you have a chance to improve your photography skills. Yea, really!

I joined insider divers for their Timor Leste trip. The whole expedition was superbly organised. The initial booking was made very easy, and payment options favourable.
This was the first time they had done this trip, and local conditions are basic. I was very happy with the logistics, and planning. This will only get better with the further trips planned.
The tour leaders were awesome. Simon and Aaron were the perfect mix of efficiency and relaxed fun.
I would have no problem with recommending them for your holiday needs.

Really excellent trip, very good diving from a lovely boat. Dive guides and boat crew were extremely helpful and friendly, always working hard! Food was good. The ready-made "family" group of Girls (with some Boys) That Scuba was terrific fun. It was great to have the added extras of presentations from Simon, Sarah and Elke. Thanks so much!

I joined Insider Divers & Girls That Scuba for my first live aboard in the Southern Red Sea, Egypt -- and its was epic! The trip was very well organized - the dive plans, the Cairo extension, all the way down to buddy pairing. Simon created a comfortable environment for you to ask questions, learn & become a better diver. Both coordinators and the boat dive master gave educational briefings - enhancing the experience of every dive. This trip included a lot of firsts for me- first zodiac entry, first negative entry, deep dive cert, and first up close encounter with large sharks - and all was done in a very professional, supportive way. I would definitely recommend Insider Divers to a friend and hope to join them on a future trip!

I went with Insider Divers on a coordinated trip with Girls that Scuba for a week long live aboard in Southern Egypt, Red Sea. This was my fourth live aboard and definitely ranked high in comparison. The energy and set by the organisers lifted the whole group and built a great sense of community. The trip was planned and organised really well from start to finish. Safety regulations were clear and all diving was kept within limits, making the experience fun and professional, and, of course, safe. I would definitely recommend Insider Divers to a friend and I hope to join them on another trip soon.

My trip with Insider Divers to Egypt was excellent. Everything from communication, planning, accommodations, food, Cairo extension, dive sites, briefings, and presentations were simply perfect. For someone that is shy, I felt immediately welcomed and part of the diving family. Simon even realized a safety issue in my diving skills, and with no hesitation offered and gave me a review class and even figured out how to change my Scubapro M2 wrist computer to nitrox. He was always available for any type of help we needed and his photography class was awesome! All the guides to include Simon, ensured that we were safe and that we got the most out of each dive. I can't wait for my next trip with Insider Divers in which one of my best friends is going to join in.
