Step One:
PADI eLearning®

Your PADI Instructor will explain how to select, maintain and care for your underwater video equipment, whether it's a housed unit with external lights, or your underwater camera that also shoots video. You'll cover fundamentals such as exposure, focus, story line and sequencing. Post dive, you'll learn about the editing process and how to produce a video that truly captures your scuba adventures.

Step Two:
Open Water Checkouts With Your Instructor  (MUST BE SCHEDULED SEPARATELY, Additional Fee)

Practice underwater navigation at night and learn how to find entry and exit points in the dark. Your instructor will share night diving tips, teach you how to stay in contact with your buddy, and avoid disorientation. 



Total time commitment: 2-3 days

Of course you'll use an underwater video camera and need your basic scuba equipment. To edit your video, you'll need access to video editing equipment, which usually includes a computer with editing software. Ask your PADI Instructor about what additional equipment you may need for getting high-quality underwater video while diving locally.
