WHAT DOES THE PADI DIGITAL UNDERWATER COURSE COVER?

The course includes all the knowledge development requirements for the PADI Digital Underwater Photography certification. If you want to take digital photos and video near, around or underwater, this course will teach you how. In the first two sections, the focus is primarily on still photography - whether you take digital still images with a camera or camcorder. Finally, section three covers some specific tips on how to image quality underwater video with digital cameras.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM COMPLETING THIS COURSE?

The course is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to use a digital camera or video underwater and also helps improve the skills and knowledge of those who already have some experience with underwater digital imaging. The course is open to snorkelers, aquatic enthusiasts and certified divers of all levels.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

After enrolling, PADI´s eLearning system presents you with interactive presentations that include videos, audio, graphics and reading. Short quizzes let you gauge progress, and review and correct anything you might happen to miss. This lets you move through the programme efficiently and at your own pace.

WHAT ELSE IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE COURSE?

Prior to certification as a PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Level One, you must complete a training dive in a pool, confined water or open water with a PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Speciality Instructor. The Level One certification is open to snorkellers and the certification card issued for that level will state that it is a non-diving certification level. For divers in training or divers that are already certified, certification Level Two requires you to complete 2 open water training dives.

David and Yvonne at Tenerife Dive hope that you can come over and complete the inwater training parts of the course with us but of course understand that time and cost make it not always possible. We have many Instructor partners in various parts of the UK that we can put you in contact with or alternatively if you have a preferred PADI dive centre local to you, just print out the completion form and take that along to the PADI Instructor.

WHAT DOES IT COST?

The course fee for the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Course Online is 73 pounds (non refundable) if the Access Pass is purchased through Tenerife Dive. This includes the final certification after all the theory and inwater training parts have been completed. Not included are the 2 open water dives and where applicable any equipment hire.

HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE THE PADI eLEARNING COURSE?

The eLearning course will be available online for 12 months from the date of course registration.

HOW DO YOU GET STARTED?

Very easy, just email Yvonne and ask for an ACCESS PASS for the DUP Course. If you wish to pay by Bank Transfer she will send back the details, or if you wish to pay by Credit Card we just need the number and expiry date. A Link to the PADI website and instructions on how to get started will be sent with the Access Pass. If you wish to purchase the Access Pass as a gift for someone else, no problem just let me know the name and if you wish to add any message, we can either send this back to you for forwarding or can send direct if you supply the email address.

 

Before any inwater training, a PADI self certified medical form must be fully completed, if a doctors approval is required this must be obtained prior to the inwater training.
