The Dive Shop offers two specialty certifications in one. With the advent of digital media, the size of photographic equipment has been significantly reduced and the cost of dive cameras is within the reach of most budgets. In addition, the development of safe, affordable water-proof housings for cell phones with superior camera capabilities have become commonly available.

This gives the average diver an opportunity to create shareable memories of their dives. This course covers the basics of underwater photographic equipment, preparation, composition, the use of light and models, and creation of “stories”. Divers must possess an underwater camera and a lighting system (a limited number of rental cameras are available) for the course. The instruction will consist of a 3-hour class, two open water dives (for the practical application), and a short demonstration period. The class cost is $80, however if you purchase a camera from The Dive Shop, the cost of the class will be reduced 50%.
