Pro underwater videography training by Liquid Light Studio
Our Pro Underwater Videography Training in Koh Tao is taught by Liquid Light Studio, a professional underwater media team working across commercial, documentary, and broadcast-level projects.
This training is designed for divers who want to move beyond casual filming and learn how professional underwater video is actually planned, shot, and edited — in real dive conditions, with real assignments.
Hosted at Echo Divers Koh Tao, the course combines serious videography training with calm, well-organised diving in one of Thailand’s best locations for learning underwater filmmaking.
What Pro Underwater Videography Training is really about
Where technique, awareness, and storytelling come together.
Professional underwater video isn’t about owning better gear.
It’s about control, awareness, planning, and consistency.
This course focuses on building those skills step by step — from how you move underwater, to how you approach subjects, to how you structure footage so it works in the edit.
The aim is simple: to help you film with purpose, not just collect clips.
Who you’ll be learning from

PRO UNDERWATER VIDEOGRAPHY TRAINING OPTIONS
Basic Underwater Videography
2 days · 4 dives
A practical introduction to filming underwater.
This course focuses on the fundamentals — camera handling, buoyancy for filming, and basic shot composition.
It’s designed to help you build good habits from the start and feel comfortable filming during real dives.
Afternoon sessions introduce basic video editing,
using footage from your own dives.
Advanced Underwater Videography
7 days · 14 dives
The advanced course develops more deliberate, cinematic filming skills.
You’ll work on planning shots, approaching subjects responsibly, using manual white balance, and applying filming techniques that improve flow and consistency. Editing sessions go deeper into colour correction, multi-clip workflows, and professional editing practices.
This level is ideal if you want your footage
to feel more intentional and polished.
Pro Underwater Videography Training
26 dives
The Pro course is designed for divers who want to work toward professional-level underwater videography.
It combines intensive filming, real-world assignments, and structured editing sessions. You’ll film both underwater and on land, take responsibility for full sequences, and produce longer-form edits that reflect professional workflows.
The course includes producing a 10–12 minute edited video,
completed and reviewed on the same day.
Broadcast Documentary Training
4–6 weeks · unlimited dives
This long-format course is aimed at videographers ready to produce a complete documentary.
You’ll work through the full production process, from concept development and story structure to filming, narration, and final edit. Unlimited dives allow the time and flexibility needed to capture a broadcast-quality project.
This option requires strong diving skills, patience,
and long-term commitment.
