The PADI digital Underwater Photography Specialty course is designed to be an introduction to basic underwater photography and to help divers develop the skills, knowledge and practical techniques necessary to enjoy this interesting activity.

The PADI underwater digital photo program is a wonderful way of gaining skills to improve your dive photo skills. It even helps you to learn how to store and archive your dive pictures. The PADI outline for the digital divers photo course is in two segments:

Level 1:

  • Point-and-shoot cameras and their practicability's
  • White balancing
  • Colour filters
  • Taking photographs without external flash

Level 2:

  • Using histograms
  • File formats
  • Image resolution
  • Picture composition
  • Organisation and archiving

In order to participate in Level 1 of the PADI Digital Underwater Photography speciality course you need to have completed a PADI Open Water Diver course (or a higher course), and successful completion of Level 1 is the prerequisite for Level 2. The duration for both levels is 4 hours each. Participation in both levels is also open for snorkellers who will receive a non-diving certificate after successful completion.

The course covers digital photographic theory including depth of field, aperture, lighting and composition; and diving techniques including preparation of the camera, safe entry and exit with a camera, testing and using the camera, measurement and adjustment of white balance.
The course materials include the new PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Manual and an underwater white-balance slate.
