LEARNING WITH JOE & DIRAN
EDUCATION
We are instructors before we are anything else. Private instruction, PADI specialty certifications, and everything we know about capturing what you see down there.
Taught one to one, or for your group.
PRIVATE INSTRUCTION
We teach privately — you, a friend, or a group you bring. Courses are built around what you actually want to get better at rather than a fixed syllabus and a class of twelve.
That might be a certification. It might be finally sorting out your buoyancy, getting comfortable in current, or learning to use the camera you already own. Tell us what you are after and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
We are GoPro's dive education partners and we co-authored their underwater imaging curriculum. Both of these specialties are included on our trips — you do not book them separately, you come diving and leave certified.
Two certifications, taught on every expedition.
PADI specialty certifications
GoPro PADI® Distinctive Specialty
Camera setup, the settings that matter at depth and the ones that don't, housings and mounts, colour and light, and how to approach an animal without ending the encounter. Taught in a classroom session and then in the water.
GoPro QUIK Editing PADI® Distinctive Specialty
The half nobody teaches. Storytelling, mobile editing fundamentals, and the export and sharing workflow — so a week of footage becomes something worth watching rather than four hundred clips you never sort.
