6 Double Dive Trips to be one!
This Photography Focus and Competition is on to help avid Underwater Photographers get more out of their Photography and Videography.
If you have a small point and shoot style camera and struggle to get good shots, maybe we can help you improve and produce something you can be proud of!
If you are keen to upgrade to using Underwater Strobes (Flashes), we can help you try them out with our training and loan Strobes.
Free Basic photography workshops will be running to help you with your camera setup. Saturday Afternoons are planned for informal sessions, so if you would like to improve your photography, hopefully we can help! Contact the Dive Shop and book yourself in.
