About
Are you heading to a warmer climate and want to go diving? Instead of doing your pool time on your vacation getting certified you can do the necessary academics and pool sessions with us. Then you can head off to the warm water to finish your certification.
The PADI Open Water Diver Referral course consists of online academics and three confined water (pool) sessions.
Then we can refer you to an instructor at your vacation destination to finish the open water dives in warm tropical waters or on one of our tropical trips.
Completing your confined water and academics while still at home saves you from wasting precious vacation days stuck inside doing course work.
