The PADI Open Water Referral course is designed for students holidaying abroad, and covers the pool and theory elements of the full PADI Open Water Course. Having completed the Open Water Referral course, you can than complete the four qualifying dives at a suitable PADI Dive Centre abroad or in the UK.
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. The exciting referral course leads on to the full Open Water course when completed and is a qualification for life to a depth of 18 metres and is recognised all over the world. As a certified PADI Open Water Diver, you'll have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional.
You must complete the dives within 12 months. If you are unable to complete when away, please contact us upon your return.
