Unique experiences want to be captured for eternity

Underwater photography is a hobby within a hobby and for many a pure passion.

The underwater photography courses are run by our partner Georg Nies. He is a professional in the field of underwater photography, distributor of Seacam underwater photo equipment in Germany and a multi-award-winning underwater photographer. The special course Digital Underwater Photographer is the ideal introduction to the incredible world of underwater photography. Whether it's schools of sharks or small creatures with a macro lens, the underwater world has subjects galore. Handling the photo equipment (camera, housing, light, flash) requires practice, the refraction of light and the magnification of the subject through the water must be known and the perspective must be well chosen.

To take part in the course you will need your own underwater camera equipment. You are also welcome to bring your own laptop to evaluate the images.
