The Underwater photographic workshop is for certified divers that would like to take their Underwater photos to the next level. Dave is also a PADI certified instructor. If you would like to get PADI’s certification for the Digital Underwater Photography Course that can be done in conjunction with the Underwater photographic workshop.

Here is what one student wrote about Dave.
I became acquainted with Dave last summer, when I was seeking out a dive instructor to assist me with an underwater photography project, an important component of my work as a painting graduate student in the University of Hawaii at Mānoa Department of Art and Art History. After calling a number of different dive operators, I was fortunate enough to discover Dave, who enthusiastically offered to share his invaluable experience as a professional diver and photographer.

Dave immediately arranged an instructional meeting, as well as a guided dive tailored to helping me understand the technicalities of my new photographic equipment. Thanks to Dave’s superlative competence as a diver and photographer, as well as his invaluable instruction, patience and insight, I achieved striking results for my first ever underwater photographs. Inspired by my success with Dave, I decided to begin working on the PADI Digital Underwater Photography Course, which Dave has since been guiding me through, and is now close to completion. In addition to being an accomplished diver and photographer, Dave also has an obvious passion and talent for teaching. He has been fully invested in helping me develop my abilities as an aspiring underwater photographer, and has consistently gone above and beyond my expectations as both his customer and student. Every time I dive with Dave, I am increasingly impressed by the depth and scope of his knowledge, and with his ability to help me achieve mytechnical and artistic goals. Emily M.
