PADI Digital Underwater Photography Diver
Why PADI Digital Underwater Photography Diver?
Digital has taken the underwater photography world by storm. Get in on the action with the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty course. You can quickly and easily capture the underwater world with your camera and on your computer.During the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty course, you learn to use the PADI SEA (Shoot, Examine and Adjust) method, which takes full advantage of digital technology. The result is good underwater photos faster than you may imagine. You not only learn how to take good photos, but how to share them with your friends via email or printing, optimizing your work with your computer, storage and more.
What do I need to start?
- PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organisation). However, you can take the course as a snorkeler and receive a nondiving certification.
- Minimum age: 10 years old
What will I do?
The new specialty is based on the concept of a two-part course. In this way, successful results can be achieved very quickly. Working with the camera also guarantees an additional feeling of achievement, since the results that this experience of success is built on can be seen immediately. The course is made up of the following steps:
Level 1:
- Point-and-shoot cameras and their practicabilities
- White balancing
- Color filters
- Taking photographs without external flash
Level 2:
- Using histograms
- File formats
- Image resolution
- Picture composition
- Organisation and archiving
Practical work on and with the camera accompanies the training program. And this, most importantly, underwater, of course.
Prerequisite for taking part in level 1 of the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty is the successful completion of a PADI Open Water Diver course (or higher) and, for level 2, the successful completion of level 1.
Snorklers can also take part in the course and enroll for both levels 1 and 2. Upon completion, they will however receive a so-called non-diver certificate.
 
How long will it take?
Each of the two levels takes four hours
What will I need?
Digital Underwater Photography Pak, which includes manual & slate
Where can I go from here?
You may count this Specialty certification toward one of the five required Specialties for the Master Scuba Diver Certification.
