Instructor Details

Jake Mason

I have been scuba diving and filming underwater since 2015, since then I've only used GoPro cameras and have managed to take some incredible footage that has been shared by large companies, including GoPro themselves. I am all self taught for the videography side of things, and a trained NAUI dive instructor.

Very basic and doesn't actually tackle the challenges of shooting underwater. 90% of the course is basic photography theory + walkthrough of what setting can be set on a go pro, no real world examples, and no comparisons between the different settings. Does not mention how the different setting affect footage quality.

It just started, but so far it’s a good course.

By Jose Andres Gonzalez on 1/7/2025

Sometimes the instructor goes so fast with explanations and shows only few examples.

By Mai Phan Hai Duyen on 10/13/2024

ok, practicall with just enough theory.

By Paula Vianna on 8/25/2024

Very complete! The only issue is I felt it was a bit too fast, I would have benefited if he explained things a little slower and more in depth. But I still recommend the course.
