Digital Underwater Photography

PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Course

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?

Stop by The Dive Shop to enroll in the course, get your materials and start learning. Beyond using basic scuba equipment, you’ll need a digital underwater camera and a computer or other device for downloading and viewing your images. We may suggest additional equipment and accessories depending on your camera system.

What will you learn?

Through hands-on training during two scuba dives and guidance from your instructor, you’ll discover:

• Choosing and using modern digital cameras and underwater housings
• Using the PADI SEA method for getting great shots quickly
• Editing and sharing your pictures
• The three primary principles for getting good photos underwater
• The PADI Digital Underwater Photographer certifications credits toward the Master Scuba Diver rating
• This is one of PADI’s most adaptable specialty courses, and can even be started during the last dive of your PADI Open Water Diver course
