Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own camera?
No — basic camera + light is included. Bringing your own (any waterproof rig works) is welcome and helps you learn on familiar gear.
Prerequisite?
SSI Open Water + Perfect Buoyancy strongly recommended. Without buoyancy control, you'll spend the dive fighting your gear instead of composing shots.
Is a GoPro enough?
For starting out, yes — a GoPro Hero with a red filter or a strobe arm is plenty. For serious work, a dedicated underwater housing + strobe combo opens up macro and wide-angle properly.
What about post-processing?
On-shore editing workshop covers free phone apps (Lightroom mobile, Snapseed) — gets your shots from 'flat blue' to 'wow' in 5 minutes. Laptop editing is optional.
Can I sell my photos after the course?
Cert + good shots + Instagram = absolutely. Many of our Photo & Video grads have sold travel imagery within their first year.
What about flash/strobe etiquette?
Never flash a turtle in the eyes, never strobe an octopus repeatedly. We cover dive-buddy + wildlife etiquette as part of the course.
