Images: Underwater video of triggerfish

Nassos - A PADI Instructor from Greece comments on his month in Koh Tao and underwater video training with Oceans Below.

Feeling grateful for everything I learned this last month these are few of my last thoughts..

I was never really comfortable using computers and "complicated" software so if 1 month ago somebody would have told me that today I would be able to edit movies on my own I would have laughed.. But with Aidy's and Elisabeth's great teaching, guidance and help nothing is impossible. Today, I have already sold some of my underwater movies and finish my first!! short-movie on land: "Fluvio in Asia".

I really enjoyed all the dives and shots I took under the water (especially the trigger fish attack) and..even if it sounds funny I also enjoyed all the teaching in the editing room, testing Elisabeth's nerves and Aidy's patience. I really learned a lot.

The experience I got during the videography internship was also great. Working under a bit of pressure of time to edit the movies on time , then showing them to the customers and actually selling them was something that I won't forget.

Thanks again for everything..Your professionalism, dedication and help that open a new door to my diving career. Going back to Greece now, since the summer season is almost starting I will definitely continue filming since there are many wrecks and caves that are waiting to be filmed..Hopefully, soon I will make new movies that you will be proud of me!!

Thanks again, with a lot of respect.. Nassos
