Responding to this opportunity, the PADI organization has expanded the minimum age for PADI eLearning student divers to include 10, 11 and 12 year olds as of 1 October 2009. This revised age requirement lets you offer the convenience of online learning to an even larger pool of potential divers.

Underwater Photography Course Online for Divers or Snorkellers
PADIs Digital Underwater Photographer Speciality is Now Online
Learn to take underwater digital photographs in cyprus
Course Price $120
Anyone divers or snorkellers can enrol in PADIs newest eLearning course: Digital Underwater Photo Course online (aka DUP online).
The Certification has two levels:
- Level One certification is followed by a single training session in a pool, confined water or open water. It covers the basics of digital underwater photography, as well as gear assembly and care.
- Level Two certification requires the level one training described above plus a second training session in open water. Additional material covered in level two includes: composing a photo, file formats, how to achieve good colour in your images, and other topics.
As with PADIs other eLearning courses, students affiliate with a PADI Dive Center or Resort during registration(CLICK HERE). Alternately, students can receive an Access Pass code issued by their instructor or through Easy Divers. After finishing the knowledge development online, the student completes the digital photography workflow workshop and in-water training for certification.
Whats Differences in the Online Course versus the digital underwater photography Book?
The crux of the course is basically the same. It continues to be an introduction to shooting underwater images using a common point-and-shoot style camera. I tell students,
You’ve basically got two choices: learn all of this the hard way and end up with ugly photos of fish behinds with blur and backscatteror you take this class which is a shortcut to shooting underwater images you’ll want to show off to friends and family.
The online course content has been updated and modernized. It includes information about shooting underwater video and includes a how to shoot underwater video tutorial. As revision schedules allow, the DUP Manual will be revised to incorporate the online content changes.
What Materials are Required?
Students are required to own the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer White Balance Slate (product no. 69231) to complete Level Two DUP training. The digital underwater photography book can be purchased separately from the dive centre.
