This is your chance to learn how to use and apply advanced camera skills as well as learning more about your own underwater camera setup. You will learn about manual camera settings (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO), underwater lighting, digital media workflow, and editing. Just knowing how to use an underwater camera is not enough. This course will also cover important underwater composition concepts (wide angle, macro, rule-of-thirds, golden ratio). You will finish with beautiful pictures and videos that are ready to share!
The Advanced Underwater Photographer course is experience based. This means you will spend most of your time with a camera in your hands and scuba tank on your back. At the College of Diving, you will receive instruction from the most experienced underwater photographer on Utila. You will go to ideal dive locations for learning how to capture the perfect underwater images that our professional Videographer knows inside out. After each day of diving, there will be debriefing, editing, and image uploading.
