| Photography Classes
Photography classes are geared
from the beginner photographer to the professional. We will
work with anything from the point-and-shoot to the SLR. Classes are mostly private, with
one-on-one attention. Classes are designed to suit the needs of the
photographer, so one may take the class as seminars that focus on
individual problems or start from the beginning.
- Underwater Photography
- We work on good buoyancy skills, different
types of cameras, digital workflow, composition, technique, strobe lighting, macro,
wide angle photography, marine life behavior and ecology. Can issue a PADI
Photography specialty card.
- Nature/Wildlife Photography
- We will work on learning your
camera's capabilities, lenses, flash fill, composition, technique,
filters and digital workflow. Learn about wildlife behaviors, habitats.
After almost 25 years of teaching both PADI and HSA, I retired from actively teaching SCUBA classes and became an emeritus or alumni instructor. I will continue teaching photography classes, one of my passions. Teaching SCUBA has been one of the most fulfilling activities I have ever done.
Scuba And CPR
Classes
Scuba classes are structured according to
PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and the
Handicapped Scuba Association (HSA) rules and regulations. The
classes range from open water to assistant instructor. I also offer
speciality classes -including photography and videography - so one
can attain a Master Diver rating. I can do Referrals from any agency
- do any knowledge development, confined water skills at home, and
do your certification dives here.
- Open Water Referrals from any agency
-Do your Open Water checkout dives in North Central
Florida! Takes 2 days to do your 4 scuba dives and 1 free dive. A
signed medical form, passport photo and referral from your
instructor are all you need.
