UW Photography school in Europe

I am trying to find professional UW photo school in Europe. Does it exist?

Thanks

The closest thing I know about are the variety of courses run by Martin Edge in the UK:

Both new photographers and professionals attend. Being 1:1 Martin tailors the content to the individual. Would be well worth travelling to the UK to go on one. They are pool based.

I did one of the sessions with Martin a few weeks ago. As Alex said its a 1:1 session and a fantastic (but pretty intense) day. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Thanks guys.

I will definately send him mail and ask him more about his course. Maybe after the course i can find someone to dive with in UK, just to see how they handle with dry suit , and what photographer have found to be best to use, masks, BCD or bladder..harness or belt, single tank or double 300 tanks..you know what I mean:-) I live in the north and there are few experienced divers here if any.

Thanks again

Well, I'm self taught, with the aid of Martin's excellent book, but for British diving I use a drysuit, manifolded twin 7l cylinders with a steel backplate, no weights and a "wing" from OMS, a low-volume black mask and as few hoses as I can (ie a tech. diving rig).

It's well-balanced, OK for deeper and deco dives, and works well in shipwrecks. It's completely over the top for shallow dives and in warm water, when I use something rather different.

A lot of British photographers use much less fancy gear, and seem to take pretty good pictures...

Maria Munn does courses with a theory session and has other trips on her website. Im an absolute beginner who is looking to do underwater photography as a Career. I contacted her and she got me on a place on a course and was so very helpful. Check this out too! Bournemouth is just a bit too far for me to go!
