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.
And besides, Orpheus Dive is the only dive centre in Singapore that organizes the Master Scuba Diver Challenge program. Every year, two divers will stand a chance to win a free trip to top destinations such as Similans Islands, Sipadan and Manado to hone their newly acquired skills.
And if that is not enough, divers who sign up for the Master Scuba Diver Challenge program earn themselves the unique and 'NOT FOR SALE' Master Scuba Diver T-Shirt and Cap.

 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 of the course 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. In Level One, 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.
Level One training
is open to snorkelers, Open Water Diver students* and certified divers. Students who successfully
complete Level One may receive a PADI certification card if they choose to, at an additional cost.
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. |
A single 3 hour theory is needed to prepare divers for their first dive with underwater photography.
During the 2 required training dives, the instructor will go through with you on how to use the PADI SEA (Shoot, Examine and Adjust) method, which takes full advantage of digital technology.
