Practice Underwater Photography on the
Ocean Optics Underwater Stage

"An excellent facility. In a few moments I checked out a new system more thoroughly than I could achieve in a swimming pool. The simulated reef provides subjects that give a better check on results than the test targets one would otherwise need to use. I shall certainly use the facility for equipment checking before overseas trips in the future". Peter Scoones, Emmy Award winning underwater cinematographer whose credits include |
World's first purpose designed underwater photography set
Full size replica Caribbean coral reef
Real cabin cruiser shipwreck
More than one hundred fish and critters
Only four photographers on set at one time
"Steve and Mark have done it again. A session on the Underwater Photography Stage is an absolute must for anyone who has an underwater camera. No matter what style of photography you like, you will have plenty of subjects to choose from. There are artificial corals and small critters for extreme macro all the way through to a real wreck for wide angle. A lot of thought has gone into setting up the stage. The positioning of the props means that buoyancy and spacial awareness are also practiced and fine tuned. This combined with the 6m depth and various lighting conditions make for an extremely realistic experience, but without an impatient diving group! You are given ample time to practice new techniques or try new equipment, so that your time in the open water will be more productive. Well done guys". James Aqualina |

"The benefits of practicing underwater photography in a tank are obvious. The chance to hone techniques old and new all in the comfort of bath -time comfort zone water will be rewarded when the real reef is in front of the lens. Practice does indeed make perfect". Simon Brown, international photojournalist, Sport Diver Magazine |

"It's perfect for practising UW Photography - no Dive Guides to hurry you along, no queue of other divers waiting to take photos of the critter you've found, and since the pool's only 6m deep, you can do a 2- hour dive Neil Stead |
