Underwater Photography Training

Having the correct skills and knowledge is more important in underwater photography than the equipment you are using.
We run underwater photography courses with a greater level of information and detail than traditional courses offered by most training agencies. As well as learning about camera operation and housing care, we'll teach you how to compose your images, light your pictures, handle workflow and even give you ideas on things to do with your finished pictures. Most of all we'll give you the hints and tips which you rarely get told but will make your underwater photography easier and your pictures better.
We offer separate online underwater photography courses aimed specifically at users of Olympus/OM System TG cameras, compact cameras and mirrorless cameras. These courses are run via Zoom as live sessions, once a week for ten sessions. As well as being able to join the live sessions they are recorded for catching up if you miss a session and are available to recap for at least 6 months after recording. You can choose a range of options and pricing to either join the live sessions (£120), access a recorded course with no live support (£80) or a recorded course with one and half hours of one to one Zoom session (£120).
We also run online photo editing courses using Adobe Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. We'll show you from the essentials of organising and editing pictures in Lightroom to more advanced techniques using some features of Photoshop . These courses are suitable for land or underwater photography and are run over 8 live sessions. As with the UWP courses you can opt to take the live sessions (£100), recordings only (£70) or recordings with one to one time (£100).
In addition to complete courses we can give one to one tuition via Zoom for £25/hour. These sessions can be tailored to your needs and can include underwater photography advice, general photography tuition and editing instruction.
If you prefer to learn during a diving trip we currently run workshops in Scotland, Egypt, the Philippines and Indonesia.
