Underwater Digital Photographer


Underwater photography is one of the most popular diving specialties. With so many underwater cameras to choose, it has become easier and more fun than ever to capture images of underwater scuba adventures, whether using a point-and-shoot camera or a sophisticated dSLR like the pros.


PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 10 years old are eligible to take the Digital Underwater Photographer course. Because underwater photography is also popular with snorkelers, there is an option for avid snorkelers and skin divers to complete the course.


DETAILS


Academic
