Digital Imaging

Camera

Because diving is for sharing: If you think the digital era has revolutionized photography and video out of the water, wait until you discover what it has done for underwater imaging.

  • No longer do you need costly underwater cameras, expensive lights or pricey lenses to capture breathtaking underwater images.
  • There is no more buying film, paying for processing — or having to wait until you get home from vacation to discover how your images came out.
  • You don’t need to master complicated concepts such as f-stops, shutter speed, aperture and guide numbers.

All you need is an inexpensive, point-and-shoot digital camera and housing — and our Underwater Imaging course. We’ll not only show you how to capture breathtaking stills and video, but also how to share them on venues such as Facebook and You Tube.
