Dive into Digital Underwater Photography with PADI
PADI’s Digital Underwater Photographer eLearning program is perfect for photographers who want to take the plunge and dive beneath the surface to capture the wonders of the underwater world.
The Digital Underwater Photographer course is a popular specialty diving course available from PADI®, the world’s largest diver organisation. It enables users to easily learn the knowledge and skills involved in taking their first great underwater photographs, or fine tune their existing skills to produce stunning underwater photographs.
The convenient, interactive online study option takes approximately 12 hours to complete and allows users to learn anytime, anywhere at their own pace, using videos, audio, graphics, reading and short quizzes to help learn and gauge their progress. It also gives access to an online version of the Digital Underwater Photographer Manual.
The course is then completed through hands-on practical training during two scuba dives and guidance from a PADI Professional. Students learn how to choose the right underwater camera system and underwater imaging principles for good exposure and composition by using the PADI SEA (Shoot, Examine, Adjust) method. The SEA method helps learners get great shots while applying the practical techniques with their digital camera.
PADI’s Digital Underwater Photographer course counts towards the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course and the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating. Students can complete the knowledge development portion of the course from home or anywhere in the world with PADI eLearning (cost: £135.00). This includes online training, digital assessments, and a certification card.
An additional fee applies for practical training, dives, dive equipment and logbook. Please contact a local PADI Dive Centre or Resort for further information.
