JOHN CHANDLER

John has been a certified PADI Divemaster since 1982 and has remained active in leading dive trips around the world. In 1996, John took some time off to earn his PADI Open Water Instructor certification. He has since added

the experience of advancing through Master Scuba Diver Trainer, IDC Staff Instructor and since May of 1998 the distinction of Master Instructor with more that 900 certifications. John reserves most of his time now for teaching Underwater Photography as he realizes the new joy of helping others capture their memories on film.

JOHN’S TIP 1:

Ensure your batteries are either new, or freshly re-charged before each dive. Do not save money only to lose great underwater images.

JOHN’S TIP 2:

Align your flash head(s) to be exactly parallel to the direction of your camera lens. Only point the flash down and inward when taking Close- Up or MACRO images.
