Why PADI Digital Underwater Photographer?

Capture your vacation memories! The PADI Digital Underwater Photographer specialty introduces you to basic photography techniques and terminology, allowing you to snap the best possible pictures underwater. Since buoyancy is a critical part of good underwater photography, you can enhance your photographs by combining the course with the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy specialty. If you have just acquired a new underwater camera, this course will help you get the most out of it. We also have cameras available for rent; see our Rental Gear page for more information on camera rental.

What do I need to start?

You must be at least 12 years old and hold a PADI Open Water certification (or an equivalent from another organization), plus a digital camera that can go underwater (or rent one from us). Good buoyancy control is also very helpful, as it greatly improves the quality of your underwater photos.
