I recently completed the 5-day advanced underwater photography course with Ash at BICD in Utila, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! Ash is an exceptional instructor who turned my limited photography skills into something truly impressive in just 5 days.
As a beginner, Ash's clear breakdown of photography basics in the classroom laid a solid foundation before we even hit the water. Unlike previous courses, the one-on-one format allowed me to ask questions freely, ensuring I absorbed every bit of knowledge. Even when faced with housing issues with my own set up, Ash's adaptability and expertise ensured we still captured fantastic shots.
The course was well-structured, focusing on a different topic each day and seamlessly applying the skills we honed. From camera care to ambient lighting basics, buoyancy techniques, photo composition, and fish behavior/tracking, every aspect was covered. Ash's attention to detail extended to post-dive activities, with daily lessons on Lightroom and Photoshop enhancing our editing skills.
Overall, this course exceeded my expectations and was worth every penny. I now have skills and knowledge that can be applied to other areas of photography on land and in my business as well. I'm excited to return for Ash's strobe course, and I highly recommend BICD's Advanced Underwater Photography course to anyone looking to elevate their skills. Five stars without a doubt! - via
