Underwater Photography Course Helps Divers Capture the Ocean’s Beauty
Certified divers with a passion for photography can take their skills to the next level through the SDI Underwater Photographer course. Designed for users of any camera system, the program introduces the essential techniques required to create stunning underwater images while navigating the unique challenges of a marine environment.
The course begins with a comprehensive workshop covering key photographic principles such as exposure, composition, lighting, and image clarity. Participants also learn practical methods to reduce backscatter and improve color accuracy, helping them capture vibrant photographs that showcase the beauty of the underwater world. Following the classroom session, divers apply these concepts during a boat dive at the renowned Busselton Jetty Underwater Sculpture Trail.
During the second day, students build upon the skills acquired in the initial session while exploring new creative approaches underwater. Additional diving opportunities allow participants to experiment with different angles, subjects, and lighting techniques, developing greater confidence behind the camera and refining their photographic style.
By completing the full process of planning, shooting, and editing images, divers earn their Underwater Photographer Specialty certification while creating a portfolio of memorable photographs. The course provides valuable knowledge that can enhance future diving adventures, allowing participants to document marine life, underwater landscapes, and artistic reef environments with greater skill and creativity.

Customer Reviews
Stewart was very good, he explained everything very nicely and He's been very open to answering all questions and any issues anyone at the course may have! and he was very light explaining everything and making everyone comfortable and easily understand the notes and the materials! He made eus doing practical exercises to make us understand the concept better! I really enjoyed this course and I'm thinking about booking a 7 day course!
I recently finished the Level 2 photography course at Dublin Photography School. Both Stewart and Andrea proved to be exceptional teachers, imparting their extensive knowledge with enthusiasm and clarity. The learning environment they cultivated was not only educational but also extremely enjoyable. The course was incredibly rewarding and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to improve their photography skills.
My wife got me a mobile photography course last Xmas in Dublin photography school and I have to say that it was a great experience. I loved the course and I'm so looking forward to take more photos on a daily basis, using the tips and guidelines I learned today. Big thanks to Sinead and Stuart for the class. I was able to see some of Stuart's job too and I'm impressed. I recommend this course to anyone, no matter the age or how techie you are.
