PADI Open Water Referral Course
Get Certified on holiday!
If you’ve always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, discover new adventures or simply see the wondrous world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. The referral system is great for people who don't really have the time to complete a full course before going on holiday or just don't want to dive in our "cooler" waters around the UK.
We don’t schedule course dates as our courses are tailored around our students so generally you can start the PADI Open Water Referral course whenever you want depending on instructor availability.
The course costs includes all kit hire, pool time and PADI manuals, there are no other hidden costs. The course consists of four pool sessions. There are also two theory sessions which can be completed at your home via Zoom with an instructor on a separate evening, or you can complete the theory via eLearning at your own pace and time.
The course although scheduled is relaxed and at the individual students pace with plenty of time to repeat skills so each student can get used to being under the water and practicing skills. We only ever teach a maximum of two students per instructor during our main pool sessions so there is never any rush or waiting around while other students complete their skills, please bear this in mind when comparing prices.
If you feel you may need more time or would like your own personal instructor for the course, consider our fully private one-on-one option.
We offer a much more personal service, turning you into a good, safe diver rather than just getting you through a course.

DM Scuba "One day Boot Camp Option"
Got a holiday booked but forgot to schedule your course?
Limited time available before you head off on holiday?
Our Boot Camp option is proving very popular with people with busy schedules, and could be just what you're looking for! Rather than completing four weeks’ worth of pool sessions, why not complete them all in one day!
We can even schedule your session on a weekday or a Saturday or Sunday and it's held in a private pool. We complete all of the theory on a separate evening via Zoom and then complete one extended session to complete all of your confined water skills in one go. As this is a private pool, we only ever schedule a maximum of two students per instructor on our busy days but these are generally one-on-one
