The PADI Underwater Videographer Course

Other than taking someone diving, there’s only one way to show someone the sounds, motion and dynamics of the underwater world: video.

The Fun Part

Show your scuba vacation adventures to your friends and family. Use your editing skills to share your clips with the world through YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and more. Use your underwater videos to turn more of your friends into dive buddies.

What You Learn

The PADI Underwater Videographer Specialty course shows you how to create videos that are interesting, entertaining and worth watching again and again.

• Selecting, maintaining and caring for your underwater video equipment.
• Videography fundamentals, such as:
  • exposure
  • focus
  • shot types
  • moves
  • story line

By the time you complete the course, you’ll have gone through the entire basic video production process.
