Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you
need to be a strong swimmer?
No. We have had people attend the events who are non
swimmers, weak swimmers and those just a little afraid of the water. We are able to cater for anyone who wants to ‘have
a go’.
Is it
safe?
Yes it is completely safe. You are given a safety
briefing prior to commencing the shoot. The photographer who works underwater
is a professional, experienced and qualified scuba diver and he is fully
injured and he has completed a number of underwater photo shoots so he is able
to help you achieve the best possible results from your time in the pool.
What is
the age range for the event?
To enter the pool alone with the photographer we
recommend age 16 years and above. However, if a parent is willing to assist a
child, toddler or baby in the pool, we can provide the experience for babies
from 6 months old (if you require this service please contact us separately to
discuss your requirements). Please click on the link and check out the incredible
underwater babies photo shoot showing behind the scenes footage and beautiful

Do I need
to create elaborate costumes prior to the event?
You can if you want to, but we provide some props and
swimming suits. You can bring along additional things like dresses, shoes,
suits etc..... the aim is to be creative and have fun. That way you will get
fantastic results and enjoy the experience.
How long
will I be in the water?
You will be in the water for approximately 2 hours
that includes practice time, safety briefing and actually shooting the images.
On top of that time in the pool you will have approximately 1 – 1.5 hours
creative direction consultation, fittings and you hair and makeup done for you.
Please note: when working with babies, toddlers and children the timings alter
to accommodate their health and wellbeing.
Is the
water warm and is the pool deep?
The water is kept at a constant 30 degrees and the
depth is circa 1.3 metres (4 foot).
Is the
experience suitable for disabled people?
Yes every care and attention to detail has been given
so that the experience is suitable for abled and disabled bodied persons. Please note an adult who is wheelchair bound
or has a sight or hearing impairment will need to be accompanied by a
carer/adult at all times. The wonderful thing about being in water is that it
creates the feeling of weightlessness and a freedom with the body so that
individuals can do many things they are unable to do on dry land.
