- Exposure
- Media types
- Lighting
- Diving with a camera
- Preparation, care & maintenance
UW PHOTO 1
Our two day/two dive course includes the complete PADI Underwater Photographer Course plus a feedback session on your images. This is the perfect course for those who aren't sure that underwater photography is for them and would like to get a feel for things. It is also suitable for beginning underwater photographers who want feedback on their images as well as some practical application of the basics.
$265/person includes free use of camera system for course
UW PHOTO 2
Our three day/four dive course also includes the complete PADI Underwater Photographer Course, but allows for a much greater time spent with your images and for more detailed discussion and practical application of underwater photography techniques that will really improve your results. We also spend time on what you can do after the dive to improve your images with software. This course is tailored to your individual needs and introduces you to more topics, such as:
- Alternative Lighting & more lighting tips

Have your own camera system? We encourage you to use your own camera system
if you have one. The more familiar you are with how the controls on your
camera system work, the better images you will be able to produce and the
more time we can spend on the areas that interest you the most. Let us know
which system you have in advance so we can be of even greater assistance
during your course by tailoring the course content to your specific set-up.
