2 days

Equipment

Full scuba gear provided

Requirements:

  • Active PADI Open Water referral
  • Minimum age 10 years

Description:

<p>A referral is the standard way to split the Open Water Diver course across two locations. You do the theory and the confined-water training with one dive centre, often near home and often in colder water, then complete the four open water dives somewhere else. This course is that second half.</p><p>Over two days you'll carry out the open water dives required to finish your certification, demonstrating the skills you already learned during your earlier training. An instructor works with you throughout and signs off each dive against the standard syllabus. Equipment is provided, so there's no need to travel with your own.</p><p>To join, you need an active PADI Open Water referral form from the centre that started your training, and that paperwork has a time limit, usually twelve months, so it's worth checking the date before you book. The course is open to divers aged 10 and older in good general health.</p>

Notes:

  • Price does not include PADI/SSI manual or certification fees.
