Underwater Videographer Thailand
Discover a different side to diving, working alongside professional videographers. Learn how to film dive students and marine life, and then edit the film into short 'dive movies'.

Price£670 - £1595
Duration3-6 weeks (depending on current dive level, if any)
Start datesAny date throughout the year

Our programmes take you from your current dive level (if any) up to Rescue Diver to ensure you have the skills and safety to start the Videographer course. You will then spend 2-4 weeks (28 dives) making underwater video, filming dive students and marine life in the mornings and editing in the afternoons.

This is a great way to enjoy the underwater environment and can also lead on to work as there are paid opportunities for videographers around the world.

You will be based on Koh Tao, a beautiful and fun island, which is now one of the world’s top dive training locations. For more details about the location, lifestyle and dive school click here.
