Vallarta Underwater Photography Adventure Overview

Scuba diving allows us to visit a mysterious undersea environment, a quiet natural world that may seem alien compared to our modern technologically-driven society. The vast aquatic world found in the world’s oceans holds an unfathomable array of visual delights. Our professional undersea photography staff can teach you how to capture the endless beautiful sights that can be discovered while scuba diving. We will teach you the proper skills needed to snap breathtaking images with both film and digital cameras, so you can share the aquatic wonders that you have discovered with your relatives, friends, and co-workers back home. You will also be able to revisit these captured moments throughout your lifetime.

Underwater photography merges two apparently unrelated skills: scuba diving and photography. Scuba diving requires a strict adherence to safety procedures while photography, although also technical, an artistic craft. We will not only instruct you on the technical aspects of underwater photography, but also how to make adjustments for different conditions, as well as tips and techniques for developing your artistic eye. Once you learn how to snap engaging underwater photos, you will be prepared to capture a lifetime of scuba excursions on film or disk. While diving in Banderas Bay, you will be amazed by the seemingly endless assortment of exotic creatures that inhabit the coral reefs and rocky caverns. The geological wonders alone are worth scuba diving in this expansive bay; lava tubes, pinnacles, granite boulders, natural arches, vast ledges, immense walls, and rocky caverns can be found beneath the surface.
