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 the cold, green waters around the UK.
Don't waste your precious holiday time sat in a classroom or in a pool, do all of that before you go! Then on day one of your holiday, you're off diving!
We don’t schedule referral course dates as they're tailored around you, our students, so generally you can start the PADI Open Water Referral course whenever you want depending on instructor and pool availability.
The course costs includes all kit hire, pool time PADI eLearning and your final certification fee, there are no other hidden costs. The course consists of a 4-5 hour pool session and all theory is completed 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 scheduled dates so there is never any rush or much 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. This is one is all about you!
We offer a much more personal service, turning you into a good, safe diver rather than just getting you through a course.
