PADI Underwater Photography Specialty Diver Course

As a diver, you desperately want to share your dive experiences with others. There problems is,PADI Underwater Photography Specialty Course. words alone are not enough. Trying to describe the first shark or your experience with a Manta Ray just does not do the experience justice. To this day no one believes me about the size of the Moray that I saw on Elephant Head rock in the Similan islands, Thailand! This really was not the 'one that got away' but I cannot convince any one! You must have pictures. This is why, sooner or later, every serious diver learns to take underwater photographs — and why the PADI Underwater Photo Diver course is the best way to discover how. The specialty course includes:

- Comprehensive self-study materials which make it easy for you to master all of the necessary background knowledge before class.
- Hands-on practice with cameras in the classroom, pool (or like conditions) and open water.
- The opportunity to expose a number of rolls of film, including two full rolls in open water.
- Feedback from an experienced underwater photo professional so that each roll you shoot is progressively better.
- An introduction to underwater digital photography.

Believe me there is a lot to learn and consider with under water photography such as diver buoyancy, checking of gauges, bubbles, movement, current etc...

For PADI Dive Instructors: Mermaids have witnessed that the dive industry prefers to take dive instructors on for dive employment from the MSDT level and higher. Although it is possible to achieve dive jobs directly from an IDC (Instructor Development Course), dive employers are more likely to offer a dive position to a diver that has more experience. The MSDT scuba diving rating displays that the dive instructor has good experience teaching diving. The MSDT internship with PADI specialty diver courses can assist in your scuba dive career.

It's been fantastic in Jomtien and I'm going to miss everyone at the dive shop when I go to Phi Phi for my OWSI job.
