Why DUP?

Photography has become one of the most popular underwater activities amongst divers and snorkellers. As well as the artistic thrill of trying to capture that special shot, it is the best souvenir you’ll ever have of your most memorable dives. You can relive your experience time after time, or even decorate your living room with a new collection of pictures.

Even a good top-side photographer can benefit greatly from this course as underwater photography is a whole different science, with colours, light. magnification,water movement and visibility all being extra factors to consider. Good photographers have an opportunity to enhance their diving skills as well as particular camera techniques to meet the challenges of taking a great underwater shot.

With the advancement and affordability of digital cameras, it is now possible with a little training for everyone to create a gallery of photographs to be proud of. If you dont have a camera now, then this course takes you through choosing the right camera for you and then how to use it underwater. If you have a  camera already, then this course will help you use more functions and enhance your diving and photography skills towards getting the shots that appeal to you.
