DIGITAL UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER

Photography is the easiest way to share your dive experiences with other people. It also provides you a record of your sightings and a great way to look up that interesting fish or creature you encountered on your last dive.

Students will be instructed on topics ranging from white-balancing, composition, lens selection, and shutter speeds, to the challenges of increasing depth and the use of strobes (flashes).

This course takes 1-2 hours to complete in addition to 2 open water dives where you will practice your skills.
