About this course
The PADI Underwater Videographer Specialty Instructor course trains you to organise, promote and teach the Underwater Videographer Specialty Diver course, giving you the tools to help your students capture their underwater world on camera. Over one day at Diving Academy, the course covers how to teach camera handling, buoyancy control while filming, lighting and composition, and basic editing considerations, always with an eye on how to present these skills clearly to divers who may never have picked up a video camera underwater before.
Because good underwater videography depends as much on diving skill as on camera technique, teaching it well means reinforcing trim, buoyancy and awareness alongside the creative side of the specialty. You will gain teaching tips and hands-on experience direct from your local PADI Course Director, helping you build sessions that keep students both safe and creatively engaged in the water.
Entry requires PADI Assistant Instructor, instructor-candidate-in-training, or PADI Divemaster status, and as with several specialties, some additional prerequisites may apply depending on your background - Diving Academy can confirm exactly what you will need before you book.
Underwater Videographer Instructor also counts toward the Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating, which requires at least five specialty instructor certifications. It is a popular specialty to teach given how many divers now want to document their dives, and a rewarding one for instructors who enjoy the creative side of the sport.

“🌊 IDC No. 8 – April-May 2026: AMAZING! 🌊 An incredibly intensive course that truly prepares you to become the kind of instructor you wish you had when you first decided to breathe underwater 🤿 It lasted nearly a month online and 10 days in person.💪💪💪 You need to trust the process, because the program is designed not only to teach diving skills, but also to help you grow into a more professional, confident, and responsible person 💪 During these 10 days, you’ll be so focused on learning and improving that you probably won’t even have time to take photos 📚🔥 The entire IDC Sardinia staff is always there for you — guiding, supporting, motivating, and helping you through every challenge. They seem to have a sixth sense for knowing exactly when you need encouragement, and they won’t let you give up, even when the summit feels far away 🌟 And don’t worry… there will also be moments of…”Greta ValotiSardinia · Google review★★★★★

“I just did my IDC with IDC Sardegna and it was the most amazing experience in my life. I love all of the staff with all my heart. The support, the training, the organisation and in generall every day was structured perfect. It was a challengig time, but I fully enjoyed it and was able to do a big step in my diving live. Special thanks to the Course Director Luca, who is one of the most inspiring persons I met in my whole life. Lets see what time does, but if I ever gonna do a contiuing education I will do it with him. Grazie”Simon SablotnySardinia · Google review★★★★★

“I did the IDC with them and everything was truly fantastic. They're professional, helpful, and ready to help you both with the course and if you have any issues with the equipment. They truly take care of every detail. Luckily, I don't have to do it again 😄 ✌🏼, but if I did, I'd definitely choose them again.”Christian FalcettelliSardinia · Google review★★★★★

“Becoming a diving instructor has recently become my biggest dream in life :) And this dream has finally come true, largely thanks to the wonderful team at IDC Sardegna, who shared all their love and knowledge of diving with me in the best possible way! I can only recommend that you take an instructor course with them so that you too can join this wonderful world in the most beautiful way possible 🙂”Enzo MenichiniSardinia · Google review★★★★★
