The Beginner’s Guide to Underwater Photography is a comprehensive, hands-on course designed for freedivers, snorkelers, and scuba divers eager to master the art of underwater photography. This self-paced program introduces you to your camera as an artist’s tool, teaching you to manipulate light, depth of field, and composition to create images that go beyond simple snapshots. The course is divided into two main parts: theory and practical application.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence and knowledge to create stunning underwater photographs and share your passion for the ocean through your lens.
