DIGITAL UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER

Underwater photography is one of the most popular diving specialties, and the rise of digital underwater photography has made it easier and more fun than ever to capture images of your underwater scuba adventures. This is why there are actually two PADI Underwater Photography courses. The PADI Digital Underwater Photographer course gets you going quickly with today’s modern digital equipment, whether you use a point-and-shoot snap camera or a sophisticated D-SLR like the pros. The PADI Underwater Photographer course is a more traditional photography course designed for conventional film equipment.

THE FUN PART

Have you ever wished you had a camera when that manta ray flew by? Or when you recognized that elusive frog fish? Been disappointed that your photos were all green and blurry?

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.

It’s a great way to relive the adventures you’ve had, plus capture images to share with your friends and family.
This is one of PADI’s most adaptable specialty courses, and can even be started during the last dive of your PADI Open Water Diver course, plus, The PADI Digital Underwater Photographer certification credits toward the Master Scuba Diver rating.

WHAT YOU LEARN

Did you think only professionals get those amazing shots? During the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer Specialty course, you will learn how to get those photos faster and easier than you imagined.

The course offers instruction on the following:

  • Choosing and using modern digital cameras and underwater housings
  • Using the PADI SEA ( Shoot, Examine and Adjust ) principle for getting great shots quickly
  • Getting the most out of your camera system
  • The impact of flash lighting
  • Editing and sharing your pictures via email or print
  • Optimizing your work with computer programs and storage systems

LEARNING MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED FOR THIS COURSE

EQUIPMENT

Bring your camera system or inquire about testing out a different one from float n flag.

PREREQUISITES

Must be a PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water (or have a qualifying certification from another training organization). However, you can take the course as a snorkeler and receive a non-diving certification. Better yet, take the Open Water Diving course too!

YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE

Two excellent specialties to pair with underwater photography are the PADI Enriched Air Diver course, and the PADI Dry Suit Diver course on your way to PADI Master Scuba Diver. The PADI Enriched Air Diver course allows you to extend your time underwater so you have more time to capture images. In cooler climates, a dry suit allows you to dive comfortably longer, and to make more dives.

You may also find the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course gives you helpful tips to optimize your weighting and skills so you’ll be in better position to capture that perfect picture. PADI Reef Fish ID course provides the understanding and knowledge about your subjects, so you can identify all those beautiful creatures in your slide shows.

This is a first rate place to learn how to dive. Brad's team is well organized, experienced, enthusiastic...and nice people! They don't cut corners on the training but help you through it. And they make it fun. My final checkout dive was delayed by a family matter so a few weeks later Brad the owner took me though it one-on-one. You can't get more dedicated than that. After certifying I did my first mid-week dive at Gulliver's Lake and what a great way to gain experience when you start out. I'm looking forward to many years at Float N Flag and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn recreational diving.

Brad and the team at Float N Flag are some of the most enthusiastic and organized people we work with. As a dive destination, we see dozens of groups from around the world every season in Tobermory, ON. Brad is always professional, organized, and displaying a true passion for both the sport he loves and the business he runs. We would recommend Float N Flag without hesitation to new divers and experienced divers looking for a great group of people to dive with! Keep up the great work!!!

I recently attended the open water course with my 14 year old son. Rob was a fantastic instructor that took the time to ensure that all of the concepts and skills were understood and mastered. George also assisted in the pool and was kind enough to lend his spare mask to my son after his developed a leak. It is evident that Brad and Tammy run a very organized dive centre. The shop and classroom are clean and the logistics at the pool are well thought out. I highly recommend Float N' Flag Dive Centre.

Just completed open water course March 2018. Awesome experience. Instructors were fun and totally thorough on all skills. I wouldn't look to any other shop. Great value. Feel 100% confident about diving. Float N Flag has an awesome community and has tons of SCUBA events around Ontario and abroad.

Float n Flag is amazing with my Junior Open water divers. My son recently certified and they were very patient and provided lots of encouragement during his lessons when he was nervous. My daughter is excited about her upcoming certification and the staff share her passion for wanting to dive. I am thrilled with the service we receive and proud to call them my home shop.

I have always found Brad and his staff to be very friendly, knowledgeable and not intimidating to newer divers. They always have safety at the forefront but have a lot of fun as well. I just recently came back from my first boat diving holiday in Roatan run by Brad, and apart from being the only one bitten by bugs (not a fault of Float n Flag!), I had a wonderful time. Brad's enthusiasm for diving and underwater creatures is something he passes on to those who dive with him. Thank you so much Brad to you and your staff.

Brad and his team were very professional and knowledgeable; they made diving fun and exciting for a new learner. I was impressed with their schedule flexibility and how accommodating they were to my scheduling conflicts. The ratio of instructor to student was great and personal. Diving with Float n Flag felt like being part of a close community.
Sherry Du
Float n' Flag is a top notch dive centre. Brad is extremely safety-conscious and professional and instills these qualities in his dive masters. They go out of their way to ensure divers are comfortable in the water and have the skills required. We recently travelled with Float n' Flag and had an amazing experience. I was really impressed at the organization, thought and care that went into the entire trip experience.
Heather Buerkle
Very professional owner, new to the stores new location and owner but seems like Float N’ Flag’s legacy is in good hands. Looking forward to dealing with them in the near future.

I have been to a lot of dive shops in the past but Float n' Flag is by far the best shop I have ever seen! Not only does the shop look great every one of the staff is fantastic and I highly recommend FnF to any one interested in becoming a scuba diver!
