The PADI Digital Underwater Photographer course is a two-part (Level One and Level Two) introduction to digital underwater photography centered around today’s point-and-shoot digital cameras.

The course helps student divers develop the knowledge, skills and practical techniques necessary to obtain excellent photographs with a digital camera, even on their first photo dive.

It is a materials-driven course intended for a broad audience – snorkelers, Discover Scuba Diving participants*, Open Water Diver students* and certified divers. The course is primarily for those interested in learning the basics of digital underwater photography.

Level One

In Level one of the course, the instructor guides students in achieving good results easily, even if they’ve never used a digital camera before. It is designed as an introduction to course skills and knowledge.

Students learn what equipment they need to take great underwater photographs, how to prepare their underwater photo system, and basic underwater photo techniques while diving in an environmentally friendly manner.

Students who successfully complete Level One may receive a PADI certification card.

Level Two

After students successfully complete Level One, they may move on to Level Two to learn how to make their photographs even better.

Level Two expands what they need to know about file formats, resolution settings, making their images lighter or darker, getting good color, composing their photo, downloading photographs into their computer and adjusting them to look their best. Level Two training is open to snorkelers and certified divers.

Participants who successfully complete Level Two skill development qualify for the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty certification.

Students must complete and sign the Liability Release and Assumption of Risk Agreement for Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diving.

If available in a language students can read, students must read the PADI Enriched Air Diver Manual and turn in the completed Knowledge Reviews for review by the instructor.

If available in a language students understand, students must watch the PADI Enriched Air Diving video. It is recommended, but not required, that students have personal copies of the video for independent study and review after the program.

Students must successfully complete the Enriched Air Diver Exam and demonstrate mastery of all performance objectives during the Practical Application Session 1 and 2 and enriched air training dives. To be successful on the exam, the student must either score 100 percent initially, or score 75 percent or higher and have each question missed explained until mastery is achieved.
