Telling friends
and family about the fantastic dives
you’ve done is much more fun when
you show them pictures of Sharks,
Wrecks or Reefs.
This course is an ideal option to do
in preparation for a holiday dive
trip to the Red Sea…. It’s FUN,
QUICK and EASY…
Including Classroom, Pool skills &
TWO OCEAN DIVES, this Specialty
course covers the principles of
basic underwater photography,
discussing exposure, flash vs
natural light, composition, and how
to overcome problems to achieve
better results.
Equipment care, preparation and
maintenance are an essential part of
the program together with camera
handling techniques. You’ll take
lots of underwater shots of aquatic
life as well as your buddy, and then
review your photo’s with your
instructor to highlight your
successes and areas which need
correction.
LEVEL 1

recreational photographer you can
learn skills necessary to dive with
a camera ( it’s not all about the
foto’s ! )

needed to get into the best position
to take a shot without endangering
the environment your manoeuvring in…
You’ll have the opportunity to use a
variety of lens functions including
wide angle & macro (extreme

shots of both tiny shrimps and
immense whale sharks…. Maybe !
All this takes place in the pool on
a Tuesday/Thursday evening – after a
detailed classroom discussions about
the specific issues of taking
photo’s underwater…. You’ll find it
quite en”light”ening…. ?
LEVEL 2
Having completed level 1 ( or
combining both levels into one
course ) you’ll be keen to put it
all into practise out in the Oceans
somewhere warm and clear with
stunning corals and amazing
wildlife….
