Underwater Photography FAQ
Everything you need to know about booking a pro photographer or renting an action camera for your Nusa Penida dive trip.
How much does underwater photography and camera rental cost per day?
We offer two full-day options: (1) Pro Mirrorless Photography & Videography at 1,200,000 IDR daily, which includes a professional mirrorless-class underwater camera system and a dedicated pro photographer accompanying your day trip to capture as many photos and videos as possible; and (2) Action Camera Rental at 500,000 IDR daily per camera for a DJI Action Pro, Insta360, or GoPro (whichever is available on the day), shooting as much footage as memory capacity allows. Because this is a third-party service owned by our instructors and guides, prices may vary by season and availability, and you can bargain directly with your instructor on-site.
If I rent the 500,000 IDR Action Camera, will my dive guide help take photos of me?
Yes! When you rent a DJI Action Pro, Insta360, or GoPro for 500,000 IDR/day, you can carry the camera yourself or hand it to your dive guide. As long as diver safety and ocean conditions permit, your guide will gladly take photos and videos of you with manta rays, turtles, and coral reefs throughout the day trip.
Why does the page mention third-party service and bargaining with instructors?
At Sanctum Dive Nusa Penida, the mirrorless housings and action cameras are personally purchased, maintained, and operated by our individual dive instructors, guides, and photographers as an independent third-party service. This empowers our team members directly and means you can speak face-to-face with the camera owner at the dive shop to negotiate multi-day rates, group sharing, or seasonal deals.
Which action camera will I get—DJI Action Pro, Insta360, or GoPro?
Our instructors and guides stock a fleet of DJI Osmo Action Pro, Insta360, and GoPro cameras in deep-dive underwater housings. Specific brand selection depends on which cameras are available on the morning of your dive—message us on WhatsApp ahead of time or ask your instructor at check-in if you have a favorite model!
Can I book underwater photography for Try Diving or Open Water courses?
Definitely! Whether you are booking Certified Fun Diving, taking your very first breaths in our Try Diving (Discover Scuba) experience, or completing your Open Water & Advanced Courses, you can add a dedicated photographer or action camera rental to your day.
