Understand how water affects the quality of your photos and learn to make use of both natural and artificial lighting to illuminate your subjects in the depths. With our imaging experts, delve into advanced photo editing and video montage techniques that will bring your underwater visions to life.

     If you're in search of the perfect camera, our team offers personalized consultations to help you make an informed choice.

SCUBA DIVING SKILLS

Master the art of neutral buoyancy and hands-free underwater propulsion, essential for composing stunning shots and capturing cinematic sequences.

     You will also learn specialized diving techniques to help restore the vibrant natural colours of the underwater environment directly in-camera, ensuring your images are as breathtaking as the scenes before your eyes.

     Four open-water photography dives are already included in your package. Just choose the destination of your choice and get to know your on-site instructor. Connect with our partners should you wish to extend your stay to practice further and return with more images.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

     Learn about the ecology and biodiversity of your destination, and how to identify the common and rare species of marine life we will encounter on our photography dives together. Dive only with your instructor and your photography buddy for a more relaxed, longer and more enjoyable experience than your typical fun-dive.

     Learn ethical diving practices that respect the environment and marine life, the conservation issues and challenges facing the ocean, and how to contribute to its protection and restoration. Let yourself be guided by our GreenFins certified Eco-diveguides.

A RESULT-ORIENTED PRACTICAL TRAINING

     Throughout your course, you will prepare, compose, shoot and enhance stunning underwater images to share with your friends and family. This will open the door to countless amazing underwater experiences, turning any dive into a masterpiece.
