Make Sure You Come Home With
Wonderful Underwater Photographs
The
First Person Dedicated to Making Your Underwater Photos with
a Compact Look Fabulous
"Welcome
to Ocean Visions where my focus is a genuine passion
to help guests get the most out of their compact camera so that
they can take photos just like mine. With nine years experience
of using these cameras underwater, I still get just as excited
every time I pick up my guests cameras, and so very happy when they win wonderful prizes and leave so happy
from the courses full of confidence. Every day they send me
emails telling me how well they are doing! I'm looking forward
to helping you with your underwater photos very soon." Happy Bubbles, Maria, LRPS and Winner, BSAC Travel Photographer of the Year 2008

Maria loves helping people take beautiful photos with their own cameras and is the only UK Professional Underwater Photographer who
has been taking underwater photos exclusively with compact
cameras since 2001. On her return to the UK five
years ago her teaching background inspired her to design
the first ever tailor-made courses for Beginners in Underwater
Photography without any techno-babble. Her guests
are winning competitions and being featured in Diver,
Sport Diver, UWP Mag, Scottish Diver and winning prizes
overseas. She is also happy to travel to Dive Club Venues and to give club talks to raise money for charity.
She has taught thousands of guests using her easy-to-understand,
technical-free jargon and has developed
a solid reputation for improving guests photographs beyond
belief in just a few hours with their Fuji, Canon, Olympus,
Sony, Nikon, Intova, Sealife or Sea & Sea cameras. Three
have won Sport Diver UK's Photo of the Month, one has
Been a finalist in BSAC's Travel Photographer of the Year, one is now writing for Diver and London Diver Magazines, another has been published in UWP Mag and another's photo has been on the front cover of Scottish Diver. Two more
have won overseas competitions in Bonaire! She
uses a Canon 20D for her topside shots and a Canon Powershot
570, Canon Ixus 980 or Fuji Finepix F30 for her underwater
photographs at present.

"Without Maria's passion for photography
and helping others like myself, I would not be producing such
wonderful underwater photographs, something that I've been striving
to achieve for some time. She quickly helped me overcome
my fear of the technical side of photography and helped me learn
the advanced topics with ease and lots of fun. The results
of my photographs have hugely improved. Thanks immensely."
Helen Denholm-Simmonds
"Hi Maria, I just wanted to drop
you a line and say thanks for a great course in June 2009. The
reef at the Hilton Nuweiba was amazing and the sea life so well
trained to stay still while we photographed them. I learnt
loads including new techniques and I also built my confidence
to go after that great shot. Also thank you for "The Best
photograph of the Week Trophy" which is sitting proudly
in my front room. Thanks and see you again soon." Vicki Wusche
