Good morning all. As you all know I’m a dive master, a certified scuba tragic as well as a keen photographer (both above and below the water). I’m currently the President of the Photographic Group of Bunbury and I’ve developed my own “Introduction to Underwater Photography” workshop, that I’m planning to deliver in the Bunbury area, on the weekend of 18-19 October 2025 and then at various times over the upcoming dive season.
This course is aimed at photographers who are looking to further develop their photographic skills, both above and below the water, with the intent taking better underwater photographs. Whilst this course is unlikely to instantly turn you into a professional underwater photographer like Phillipe Cousteau or Brooke Pyke, it will get you started on your journey.
The course will be delivered in small groups (max. 6 people) and will consist of an afternoon of theory followed by 2 shore dives the following morning to put your learnings into practice.
The theory will begin with some photography basics including photographic and underwater photography equipment (cameras, lenses, housings etc), the exposure triangle of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO, followed by depth of field, focussing, light metering, different shooting modes and more.
After this we’ll talk about preparing to take photos underwater and what you need to consider before you enter the water, what you need to be aware of whilst entering and after you’re in the water and finally when you’re underwater.
I’ll be including some setting information that can be used as a starting point for various situations and finally some of the common mistakes made by underwater photographers and how we can avoid or fix them.
The cost will be $199.00 per person, but as an introductory special I’m offering this for $149.00 to the first 6 people.
To participate you will need to be an appropriately qualified and skilled diver, have your own underwater camera and be willing to have fun.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in please drop an email to [email protected]
and I will forward you through all the details.
