Video and Camera Rental

The underwater photography and videography equipment in the Ocean First Divers' Digital Imaging Center is available for you to take with you on your next dive vacation. This top of the line equipment requires one pool session with an OFD staff member to review basic care and operation of the system both above and below the surface. The pool session is included in the cost of your rental. This is a great way to test out some of the best underwater photography and videography systems available. Ocean First Divers offers specialty courses in both digital underwater photography and underwater videography to help you achieve your imaging goals.

All camera and housing rentals require a pre-authorized security deposit and 1-hour pool session before leaving the OFD facility.
