FAQs about Underwater Photography & Videography

Yes, scuba certification is typically required for underwater photography or videography sessions that involve diving. This ensures safety and competence while handling equipment underwater. However, for shallow water shoots or snorkeling sessions, certification may not be necessary. It’s best to consult with us regarding specific requirements.

Beginners are advised to start with a compact digital camera paired with an underwater housing. As skills develop, one can invest in additional accessories like external strobes or wide-angle lenses to enhance image quality.

Wide-angle photography underwater can be challenging due to factors like water clarity, lighting conditions, and the need to get close to large subjects without causing disturbance. Utilizing appropriate lenses and lighting techniques can help overcome these challenges.

Many dive centers in Bali offer rental services for underwater photography equipment. However, if you’re accustomed to your own gear and have specific preferences, bringing your equipment is advisable. Ensure all equipment is well-maintained and suitable for the diving conditions in Bali.

While Bali offers numerous dive sites, some areas may have restrictions to protect marine ecosystems. It’s essential to check local regulations and consult with dive operators to ensure compliance with conservation efforts.
