OK - now to own up - when I was in badge collecting mode I did the PADI UW photography course. It was basic but helped a bit with the theory. If you want the manual let me know - its written in but can still be used for reference. Also I bought `The art and Technique of underwater photography` by Martin webster. Not for digital cameras but again helped with the background. You can borrow this if you like

yes please, i agree that we learnt loads just by trial and error, i think thats the beauty of digital. On a 8 dive trip we took 100 each dive and reviewed them on the laptop before thenext dive, by half way through the holiday we were really pleased with the results will post some tenerife pics up here when i have worked out how to post them. I am sure i saw a thread on it. Not particularly bothered about the PADI badge just interested in learning more. Maybe a book is the answer

If anyone is interested. I run underwater digital photography workshops now and again.

Content includes, cameras, housing, power, care and mainteince. &nbsp;Also includes practical hands use of computers downloading, image editing and printing.

For those who don't know me, i'm a full time dive instructor, with a keen interest in digital photography. I have gained several awards, including Image 2003, Sports Diver Magizine, plus many other photography credits.
