Typical U/W Videographer PLUS Course Itinerary
Day 1:
Meet your instructor at our studio and begin to learn about the camera you’ll be using during the course. Receive a basic introduction to film-making and make a short movie on land to learn its functions. Once you’re happy with the camera, learn about the set-up & care of underwater camera housings and prepare for the next day out on the dive boat, by setting-up your own video camera and underwater housing.
Complete day one by learning about some important underwater filming techniques to get you started.
Day 2:
Meet at Scubafish Dive Centre at 7.45am for a tea or coffee, before making your way to the boat, where you can relax and enjoy breakfast.
Run through a quick refresher with your Instructor on how to use your video camera & underwater housing and get a little practice in, on the boat. Cover key safety procedures, before making your first dive with one of our videography experts at your side.
After the dive, we take a short break, discuss any problems you had with the camera and try to solve them before making a longer second dive to start to capture some nice footage.
During the lunchtime surface interval, we provide you with as much feedback as possible to make sure you get the most out of your next dive, giving you tips on buoyancy, composition and other techniques.
On the third dive, try some different subjects and shot-types and collect more great footage of our many fascinating underwater residents.
We arrive back at the Dive Centre at around 2pm, to review your footage and give you an easy introduction to digital video editing.

Day 4:
Dives 6 & 7 are spent filming various different subjects and learning more about composition, as well as thinking through how to piece together a movie properly. Again, you” receive feedback on your footage at the end of the day and have some more time to edit your day’s footage.
