Overview
Everyone comes back from a Red Sea holiday with photographs. Very few come back with good ones — mostly because water eats light and colour faster than anyone expects.
This course covers choosing the right camera system for the diving you actually do, image composition underwater, and the PADI SEA method: Shoot – Examine – Adjust. That last part is the one that matters, because it means correcting the shot on the dive rather than being disappointed at the hotel.
What You Learn
Picking a system — compact, action camera or housed system — and what each one is genuinely good at. Getting close, because water between you and the subject is the enemy of every underwater photograph.
Composition, lighting and white balance at depth, and how to work with a subject without stressing it or damaging the reef.
No previous photography experience is required.
Good to Know
Two guided photo dives, scheduled by arrangement. Bring your own camera if you have one — the course is far more valuable with the equipment you will keep using.
