Ocean Optics are proud to present Europe’s first conference devoted exclusively to digital underwater photography, which is being held in London this October.

Visions in the Sea is now in its eighth year. Previous conferences have been concerned primarily with using film to take photographs beneath the waves. However, this year, the focus is entirely digital.

The speakers range from divers who use modestly priced compact cameras to seasoned and award winning experts who will share their experience and secrets with the audience. They include from the UK’s DIVE Magazine Senior Correspondent Charles Hood and Dave Lloyd who is Art Editor and will share his Photoshop expertise, Peter Rowlands editor of Underwater Photography Magazine and Wetpixel’s own Alex Mustard.

The conference is staged by Ocean Optics, the specialist retailer of underwater photographic equipment based in London. Said Optic’s Steve Warren: “The content of Visions this year reflects the significant increase in the number of people buying digital outfits so they can take up underwater photography. We are catering for them but also more serious users of top-of-the range digital slr’s.”

The conference is being held in the UK at the Waterloo campus of King’s College London in Stamford Street, SE1 9NN, on Saturday, October 23.
