Why did P.A.D.I. come up with the Digital Underwater Photo course? Were the bored or was it a great idea?
I must say the book that P.A.D.I. wrote is one of the best underwater photography books out there. I have been on shoots for other agency photo books a few years ago, and the pictures and techniques that PA.D.I. has in there book are great. I am an instructor of this course and it is a blast to teach. There are two parts to it. On is in the pool and the second one is in Open Water. This means that you can teach this course to snorkels as well as Divers. Also this course can be taught in the winter in the pool ad finished up in the Open Water when the water warms up.
At first I thought that this course had broken down to basic, but after my first class I relied that not everyone has used a computer and some did not realize they need one to down load their pictures in order to take more or to modify their pictures. I do believe that the Digital Underwater Photography (DUP) class will be a great class to teach people of all ages, espically since they can see what the picture looks like before they surface with some cameras. I hope everyone who read this blog, at least takes part I of the P.A.D.I. digital underwater course so they can see how easy and fun it is to take pictures underwater.
