The instructors knowledge was limited to 1) set the WB to Underwater, and 2) Set the camera to Program mode.
That is scary. Luckily the instructor for this course also uses a housing similar to mine. We even discussed that whomever I choose to take this class through, make sure they have a DSLR housing like I do versus a non-DSLR.
If you know nothing about UW photography then the class maybe worthwhile. They setup and shot plastic sharks in a pool! The instructor did not know what the Aperture did so that was her level. Steve Frink's classes in Key Largo would be very worthwhile. PADI not so much, unless you have a working pro or amateur enthusiast in your area and they happen to be an instructor.....
I'm actually planning to take one of the Palm Beach or Key Largo Classes in the future. 1. I can get more dives in 2. I get to be around other photogs that use similar equipment to me and I might actually learn something.
