🎥 🐋 Learn how to master the craft of underwater videography and photography, guided by an expert instructor with professional SCUBA diving training. Explore and understand the impact of ocean conservation to create your own marine short film and/or underwater photography masterpiece.
Join us for an immersive, month-long underwater photography and/or filmmaking course designed to launch or advance your career in marine media production. With a strong focus on ocean conservation and ethical visual media, this hands-on course blends expert instruction with field-based training, preparing you to work across broadcast, NGO, corporate, and digital platforms.
Based in the coastal town of Scottburgh, on South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal South Coast – renowned for its marine biodiversity and proximity to the world renowned Aliwal Shoal – you’ll receive practical training in underwater camera work, lighting, framing, and post-production using videography techniques. The course includes an 18-dive package with Scuba Xcursions, starting with 2 rock pool sessions for gear orientation and skills development, followed by open-water dives exploring coral reefs and encountering marine life such as sand tiger sharks, turtles, rays, and dolphins.
To take part, participants will need a PADI Open Water certification (or equivalent). If you’re not yet certified, we can help arrange a course ahead of the programme (at an additional cost). All dives are conducted by qualified dive professionals and follow strict safety protocols to ensure a safe, enjoyable experience underwater.
The course also includes essential business training tailored for freelancers and marine creatives – covering branding, networking, income generation, and creating a simple business plan. Instruction is personal, interactive, and hands-on, with professionals guiding you step-by-step through every stage of the process. By the end of the course, you’ll have produced your own underwater short film or portfolio piece, ready for pitching, submission, or showcasing your unique voice as a visual storyteller.
