PADI Digital Underwater Photographer (DUP)

Do you want to capture underwater memories for life? Just purchased your first underwater camera and don’t know how to use it? With this entry level Underwater Photography specialty you will receive tuition on how to use your camera and perfect your pictures. You can use your own camera on this course or rent one from us. We use Olympus TG4 up to the Olympus TG6. With the guidance of a PADI Instructor you will develop your skills to easily obtain captivating underwater photos.

We run this course in one day, you’ll have two awesome dives in the heart of the world’s most bio-diverse oceans; “The Golden Triangle”. This will provide you with a wide range of aquatic subjects for sharpening your photography of sharks, to beautiful corals and a huge variety of macro life and more.  We highly recommend you take our combined course of DUP and Peak Performance Buoyancy to make sure you have the camera skills combined with the water skills to be still in the water while you manage photographing your subjects…

Finally, if you prefer to learn the theory component from home before you arrive you can study with the PADI eLearning. This takes about 8 hours and you can study whenever you have the time to commit to this component of the course.

PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy (PPB)

This specialty will help you to perfect your buoyancy so you will dive with greater control, your air will last longer and you will save energy. You will also just look more ‘cool’. You will learn to move through the water more efficiently and with greater control and ease.

You will learn to hover better on your safety stop (and in general) and will be better-equipped to be still to take awesome photos. In fact, this is a great course to take combined with Digital Underwater Photography and/or Wreck Specialty course.

You will learn to arrange your equipment so you’re perfectly balanced and streamlined in the water. This is a course that many feel is for newly certified divers, but this is a great course for divers of all levels – your buoyancy can always be better!!!

PADI Wreck Diver

You will find that some of the most famous dive destinations in the world have shipwrecks or plane wrecks. How thrilling to have the skills and confidence to penetrate the wrecks and explore around and inside wrecks. You may want to combine this with our Peak Performance Buoyancy course – many of the most exciting parts of wrecks are narrow and require great buoyancy for your enjoyment.

We run this two day course based in Tulamben, which is one of the best locations to dive in Bali! You’ll explore the USAT Liberty wreck which is covered in coral and home to an abundance of marine life.

You’ll learn the history of this famous wreck, how to navigate it, how to map distinguished features such as canons and anchors, penetration techniques and identify potential hazards.
