“I love seeing how passionate scuba divers are about what they see underwater. I want to help these divers capture video, and teach them how to tell the story through edited video. I wish there was someone to teach me these tools of shooting underwater video when I first got started in 2014. I had to learn by trial and error. There is a growing trend of the underwater world moving to videos. Whether you want to create videos for your social media, or want to take it to the professional level, I will pass on what I have learned by providing basic to advanced knowledge of how to create and edit underwater video.”
