Mario Vitalini

Mario Vitalini has been involved in photography from a young age (he started in front of the camera as a baby model, posing in Colombia’s first ever nappy print ad campaign). As soon as he started diving in 1989 he grabbed a Nikonos V and started taking photographs underwater, and hasn’t looked back.

After working at Cameras Underwater and then Ocean Leisure Cameras, Mario is now the lead instructor for fishinfocus underwater photography, a company that offers a complete and flexible range of underwater photography courses for all levels and cameras. fishinfocus run regular one day underwater photography courses (including private courses) in Guildford, Surrey, UK, and in partnership with Oxygene Surrey (the dive centre where fishinfocus is based) stock a wide range of underwater photography equipment, including cameras, housings and accessories.
