Course Description

Underwater photography is our specialty … make it yours, too!

Underwater photography is our passion. Steve and Jolene Philbrook, owners of Aquaventure Scuba & Travel, are professional photographers dedicated to capturing underwater moments and memories locally and worldwide. Steve and Jolene are not the only staff members interested in capturing great images; just about every staff member has an underwater camera set-up.

Both Steve and Jolene have vast experience shooting DSLR, mirrorless, and point-and-shoot cameras and can help you not only understand your camera but also take your photography to the next level!

Train with us, dive with us and take photos with us!

Underwater photography is one of the most popular diving specialties. With so many underwater cameras to choose from, it has become easier and more fun than ever to capture images of your underwater scuba adventures. The PADI Digital Underwater Photographer course gets you going quickly, whether you use a point-and-shoot camera or a sophisticated dSLR like the pros.

PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers at least 10 years old can take the Digital Underwater Photographer course.

Because underwater photography is also popular with snorkelers, the course offers an option for avid snorkelers and skin divers to complete the program.

What do I need?

You’ll need your snorkeling and scuba gear and a digital camera. Items can be rented.

Transportation, meals, lodging and local park entry fees (if required) are not included.

Student Testimonials

I’ve done all my training and testing with the Aquaventure teams. They have great instructors and a fun atmosphere, all very knowledgeable, and they work hard to make your diving experience worth remembering. If you ever thought about experiencing scuba diving, I would highly recommend starting here!

Great place to learn how to dive. Very private with close instruction. Go as fast as you are comfortable with super friendly instructors. My 10-year-old and I loved it. A great experience. Top-notch dive shop!

My 11-year-old son and I took the PADI Open Water Diver class through Aquaventure, and we could not be happier with the experience. Erik did a fantastic job educating and coaching us through the entire process.

Both of my teens have achieved their Open Water certifications now with training from their excellent instructors and dive masters. As a 27-year diver, I wholeheartedly trust Aquaventure to provide quality training and service!
