1-DAY UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE

$275 USD / Private shore

$350 USD / Private boat

Heading 2

What will you learn

Underwater photography shouldn’t be that difficult! 

During my line of work, I encounter countless divers who are frustrated with their photography and just can’t seem to get it right.

​

Colors don’t come out the way you expected, the focus is elusive and even the nudibranchs seem to run away from the camera. All the different settings sound so confusing and how do you handle all of that while equalizing, breathing, keeping your buoyancy and staying the group?

​

I remember exactly how I started and how terrible my photos were back then. If I had some proper guidance during my endless attempts, it would have probably made things much easier.

​

During this 1-day workshop, I will teach you the methods I developed for getting great results right away, so you can feel proud when showing them around to family and friends, and hang some beautiful prints on your house walls.

​


The dive site we will visit is a shore dive, known for an abundance of species such as pufferfish, lobster, rainbow wrasse, spotted stingrays, moray eels, blennies, arrow crabs, banded coral shrimp, sea horses, frogfish and more!


While we can’t guarantee anything, on most dives we encounter most of the species we listed above :)


Cozumel is one of my favorite places for underwater photography. It’s easily accessible from anywhere in North America, there are plenty of dive sites to choose from, the reefs are spectacular, visibility is mind-blowing and the diving is great year-round. Yes, even during “hurricane season”.
