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.

Must be a PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water (or have a qualifying certification from another training organization) However, you can take the course as a snorkeler and receive a nondiving certification. 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.

You will learn how to:

• Choose and use modern digital cameras and underwater housings
• Use the PADI SEA method for getting great shots quickly
• Edit and share your pictures
• Use the three primary principles for getting good photos underwater

The PADI Digital Underwater Photographer certifications credits toward the Master Scuba Diver rating.
