Photography Gig

Today I was sitting around with some friends waiting on the afternoon boat to do a couple fun dives when our DM group was approached by one of the instructors who needed someone to take pictures of his discover scuba diving course. The job paid 500 THB, or $15. I of course jumped at the chance to hone my underwater photography skills, and earn a little cash while I was at it. There were 4 students in the class and they ended up doing 2 dives.  
I had such a fantastic time on both dives, taking pictures of the students and marine life, just snapping away.  I had to unfortunately use the dive shops camera, so for a while I wasn't sure how the pictures were coming out, but in the end I got some really great ones, a little more then 300 shots in total. Now I want to take a photography specialty course and maybe try to do this professionally. The course here is about 55,000 THB and pretty intensive, so I won't be able to afford it this time around, but definitely next time! I think I may come back to Koh Tao in 2016 to do my Instructors course, so perhaps I will do that course as well. In the mean time I will try to take my camera on as many dives as possible and work on my skills. The new task I've set myself is to create a compilation video, so I'll post that when its completed.  Below are just a few of my favorite pictures from the 2 dives....enjoy!
