You want to take stunning photos of the fascinating underwater world during your diving holiday? Then the SSI course “Photo & Video" or the PADI course “Digital Underwater Photographer" (“digital underwater photography") is exactly the right for you. We will tell you what awaits you during the course.

Colorful coral reefs between which anemone fish swim and over which huge schools of fish move about, small caves with fascinating light games and mysterious wrecks, which exert an irresistible attraction: panoramas like these await you in abundance underwater. With an underwater camera, you can capture these stunning impressions for your friends and family at home. Assuming, of course, you know how to handle it!

The name of the courses already suggests it. Here you will learn everything you need to know about underwater photography. Among other things, you will learn:

• what you have to know about diving with an underwater camera,
• what you need to know about choosing the right underwater camera system,
• which techniques of underwater photography exist,
• how to take care of your camera properly, so you enjoy it as long as possible,
• how you can take spectacular underwater pictures and
• what you need to know about storing your underwater camera.

Good to know: in order to participate in the course, you will need a certification for the Open Water Diver.

You can use your knowledge of underwater photography on several dives. Still, you can expand the potential of your underwater photos, when you learn how to stay longer underwater. How this works, you learn in the course “Enriched Air Diver – Nitrox".

You can be trained as an underwater photographer at both SSI and PADI. The differences in content between the two eLearning courses are minimal. But you should know some differences:

• Price: You’ve certainly noticed it yourself. The PADI and SSI courses for underwater photography differ in price. PADI is more expensive, because the association prescribes that you have to purchase certain learning materials. These can later also serve to refresh the learned. In addition, PADI already includes the fee for the certification and one year of membership in the the course fee.
• Learning methodology: In principle, the following applies: PADI sets the order of learning modules more strictly than SSI. With the latter, the instructor has a greater degree of flexibility.
• Number of Diving Centers: PADI runs about twice as many diving centers as SSI.Both dive associations operate numerous dive centers worldwide.

eLearning: Your eLearning access is unlimited for SSI. At PADI, on the other hand there is a maximum access time of one year.

Of course, you can carry out large parts of the courses “Photo & Video" and “Digital Underwater Photographer" easily online. For you, this has three tangible advantages:

1. You can choose when you want to learn.
2. You can choose your own location, be it during the lunch break, on your smartphone in the tram or on the sofa at home .
3. You can save valuable time during your holiday and can quickly plunge into the cool water on your next dive vacation to make breathtaking underwater photos.
