This program teaches you the skills needed to dive with an underwater camera, and provides the in-depth knowledge and experience required to properly use, maintain and store your equipment. Our goal is help you capture your amazing underwater experiences. You will earn the ProTec Photo & Video Specialty certification.

The Photo and Video course is to learn how to capture, with your underwater camera, the breathtaking scenes of the wild beneath the ocean.

But having an underwater camera does not make you an underwater photographer or videographer. You can take thousands of snapshots or video movies and have the video very shaky and most of the pictures blurred.

With the ProTec Photo and Video course, very quickly, you will be able to get stunning photos like the ones on this/our website and amazing video clips.

Take the ProTec digital underwater photography and video course to start taking beautiful underwater pictures and video clips with proper techniques, positioning, lights and colors.
