PADI Underwater Photographer Referral Course
Learn underwater photography above water at home
and do the underwater part in warm, clear water in Grand Cayman
If you want the PADI Underwater Digital Photographer I or II certification, but don't want to dive where you live, or spend time to take the classroom portion during your exotic vacation--just ask your local dive shop for a PADI referral class.
Ask them to teach you the classroom and pool portions of their underwater photo course, and then come to us in Grand Cayman for the warm, clear, calm dive portion. We will review your skills briefly and head for a shore dive (weather permitting) using the camera and lessons that you bring with you. If the weather does not permit a shore dive during your stay here in Grand Cayman, we can join you on an optional two-tank resort boat trip.
We will help you underwater to apply what you learned at home to get wonderful photos of exciting subjects like a wreck, angelfish, colorful sponges, or tiny Christmas tree worms (depending on the type of camera you are using.)
Cost for the PIC card and two dives required for Digital Photographer II, plus two critiques is US$220.00. Photo equipment, scuba gear and tanks, optional resort or private boat charter are not included. All of the above are available at an additional charge. If the dives are to be done with Cathy, the cost is $420.00. Your local instructor can send us an email in advance with your name, camera type taught with and camera you will be bringing (if any).
