Underwater Photography Course

Turn Your Next Dive Into a Photo You Are Proud To Share

You love the silence and weightlessness of diving. In this course, I help you turn that feeling into photos that finally look the way the moment felt – full of color, clarity and emotion.

My 2-day, high touch Underwater Photography Course on Koh Tao is built for divers who want more than random snapshots. I teach you how to create intentional, powerful underwater images – even if you’ve never used a camera underwater before.

| Small groups, big progress: maximum 2 students per course

Who This Course Is For

I created this course for divers who want results - not luck. Perfect for you if you are:

  • A new or growing diver who wants consistent, confident photos
  • An aspiring content creator, influencer or storyteller
  • A fun diver tired of blurry, blue tinted “almost” pictures
  • A compact camera or smartphone user who wants to push their gear further

Prerequisite:

Advanced Open Water or at least 10 logged dives, and you should be comfortable underwater and ready to focus on skills - not surviving. No photography or editing experience is required - I guide you step by step.

What Makes This Course Different

My course is personal, practical and fully focused on real diving conditions.

You will:

  • Train in a tiny group (max 2 students) so I can coach you directly

  • Use high quality equipment I provide: Samsung S23 Ultra, S24 Ultra with a Divevolk underwater housing with full touchscreen control and external shutter and Olympus TG7.

  • Shoot with wide angle lenses and macro lenses, and use the Insta360 – just to give you an additional perspective.

  • Practice on real dives with immediate feedback after every attempt

  • Improve your images with simple, repeatable editing workflows

And as additional part of the process, you learn to control your buoyancy with precision - giving you the stability you need to create clean and powerful images underwater.

The Transformation You Can Expect

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

By the end of the 2 days, you will:

  • Stop taking random shots and start planning your images

  • Compose photos that guide the viewer’s attention

  • Understand underwater light and use it correctly

  • Capture sharp, well exposed shots even in challenging conditions

  • Use a simple editing workflow that works anywhere

  • Feel more balanced, relaxed and controlled underwater

Even students who arrive saying “I’m not creative” or “I only shoot in auto” leave with images they are proud to show.

And yes - you’ll receive all the photos I take of you during the course.
