PADI DIGITAL UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY
£185
The PADI Digital underwater photography specialty course is a two-part introduction to digital underwater photography centred on today’s point-and-shoot digital cameras.
Immerse your love of digital photography and learn how to best capture those impressive coral reefs, the colour of marine life and the mystery and magic of wrecks in this fun and informative course.
The course covers the PADI SEA (Shoot, Examine and Adjust) method of photography but it’s not all about how to take a picture, white balancing and using colour filters.
Your instructor will also guide you in equipment set up, maintenance, care, image resolution, using histograms, file formats and archiving your photos. This course is a fantastic idea before your holiday, making the most of your dive time and getting the best results whilst you’re away.
