FAQ

What is included in the course?

The course contains 5 exciting modules. You will get video lessons, additional learning materials, and practicals assignments so you can practice everything you’ve learned with your own camera.
We cover all important topics for underwater photography: starting with understanding your camera and the settings, over equipment (such as lenses, strobes, accessories), understanding light and learning how to shoot in different light conditions, macro photography, wide-angle photography, composition, adopting a mindset that will help you succeed and even post-processing your pictures! My goal in creating this course was to give you all the essentials you need to take your underwater photography to the next level!

I'm not diving at the moment. Is it worth starting the course already?

Absolutely! Think about it this way: by starting the course before your next dive trip you can make sure that you will be ready!

Even if it still take a while before you will go on your next trip, you can start practicing on land with the dry assignments and get to know your camera better. This will help you when underwater as well.

Plus you get lifetime access to all contents, so you can easily rewatch some of the modules shortly before your trip if you like.

How do I get access to the course?

After you registered and paid you will receive an email with the access link to the course and you can start learning straight away.

I have a small compact camera. Does that work?

Yes! Any camera from a compact camera up will do.

Ideally, it will have a manual mode that you can shoot in.

If you have the Olympus TG-6, you do not have a full manual mode, however you can still adjust your settings (and I will show you how).

How long do I have access to the course contents?

You get unlimited access. This means, you can always come back and re-watch the modules if you like (e.g. shortly before your next dive trip).

I just started scuba diving and only have a few dives. is this course right for me?

If you want to start underwater photography, you first need to be comfortable in the water (with your scuba diving skills). If you have just started diving, please make sure first that you are completely comfortable in the water and that you have good buoyancy skills, before you pick up underwater photography.

It is hard to give an exact number, because everybody learns differently. However, I recommend having no less than 40 dives.
