Digital Underwater Photography Speciality Course

Someone once said to me. Why go diving to experience this beautiful underwater scenery and not take photographs of it? I often hear a lot of people who do technical diving say 'I wish I'd had a camera on that dive!' as they want to take photographs so they can remember what it was like and share their experiences with other’s who do not have the training to explore beyond recreational depths.

However the reality is that taking photographs underwater is a lot different to taking photographs on land. You may have found when recreational diving that buying a waterproof disposable camera and taking it underwater normally results in very blue or very green blurry pictures, which in no way portray the experience that you had underwater and are rather disappointing to look at. What’s even more annoying is the deeper you go the worse the pictures seem to get.

Learning some basic rules about taking photos underwater will help solve a lot of these problems almost instantly, and the people you’ve been showing your pictures too will finally start to see the underwater world they way you see it. These rules can be applied within and beyond recreational limits to improve your photographs regardless of the fact there is less light when you dive deeper.

After you have learnt these tricks you just need to practice and play around. The DUP course teaches you the basic tips and tricks you need to learn to dramatically improve the quality of your underwater pictures and it also gives you the opportunity to play around with your camera and get familiar with the settings that work best with a given depth and water condition. It also gives you an opportunity to ask questions about Photoshop and other photo editing software.

So if you are interested in sharing your experiences with others or just creating nice memories for yourself this is a course defiantly worth considering.
