Once you arrive at your holiday destination, you’ll complete your certification with four magnificent open water dives. This way, you get to spend more time exploring and less time confined to training facilities.

Convenience and Enjoyment Combined

The PADI Open Water Referral program is designed with your convenience in mind. By completing all the “homework” and skills training before your trip, you reduce stress and make the most out of your holiday. It’s an excellent choice for aspiring divers looking to balance preparation with adventure.

How the Referral Works

The full PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:
  1. Knowledge Development: Theory, quizzes, and exams (completed at home).
  2. Confined Water Dives: Learning basic skills in a pool (completed at home).
  3. Open Water Dives: Four training dives in the ocean (completed with us!).
By choosing the referral option, you arrive with your referral paperwork ready to go. We handle the final phase, so you can earn your license in just 2 – 3 days instead of 3 or 4.

The Benefits of a Referral

  • Maximize Vacation Time: Focus on exploring reefs and marine life rather than studying manuals or practicing in a pool.
  • Learn at Your Own Pace: Take as much time as you need to master theory and pool skills with your local instructor before you travel.
  • Support Local & Global: You get to support your local dive community at home while experiencing world-class dive sites with us.
  • Ready to Explore: Once certified, you can spend the rest of your vacation doing “fun dives” as a fully licensed diver.
