Do I need to do some sort of course to use a camera while scuba diving? or is a normal PADI scuba diver certificate fine? Sounds a bit stupid..but thought it better to ask before spending £300+. Thanks!

No. An underwater photography course is intended to help you learn how to take better pictures sooner, but there is no reason that you HAVE to take a course to use a camera. There are no scuba police out there verifying qualifications. 🙂

Specialty courses are designed to accelerate the learning process, but trial and error is always an option. In some cases trial & error gives the test before the lesson, but with photography generally all you are risking is taking pictures you aren’t happy with.

Just watch your buoyancy while taking photos, many people get overly focused on the camera and lose buoyancy control.

Earlier this month, High School sweethearts Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens jetted off for a romantic July 4th weekend together.
The couple wound up flying to Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean and stayed at the exclusive Amanyara resort.
Zac and Vanessa weren’t shy about their affection with one another, cuddling up and making out in between scuba diving and kayaking.

“The Cayman Islands are three small islands in the Western Caribbean, to the south of Cuba and west of Jamaica. Low-lying and coral based, which gives them excellent scuba diving and excellent sand in some places…”

Shouldn’t it look like this one? I felt like I’m in Little River but walking instead of flying through a passage with hissing regulator in my mouth. In the cave shown to me by Citracaver it sounds and senses differently from what we experience during underwater scuba cave excursions. It also requires some other than cave diving gear . There were no birds of cause- just a lonely sleepy bat but his brothers were chirping well as you can hear on soundtrack 🙂 It was no gold guideline down there either but there was a seasoned caver descend rope. We managed to use our DIY 50W HIDs xenon video lights before they fried my polypropylene test-tubes. Being non-cooled by outboard water test tubes finally melted after 30 mins of burning.

GPS location is offset. Cave is on private property.
