Open Water Referral £199.99 including materials and kit hire.
Interested in learning to dive but don't want to jump in to a quarry or lake in the UK? Then this is the course for you. Complete your dive theory and/or pool sessions here in the UK and next time your away on holiday pop into a PADI dive centre to arrange the remaining sections of the course.
Why do an Open Water Referral course?
No one wants to go on holiday to sit in a classroom, so completing sections of the Open Water course here in the UK will save you valuable holiday time. It also means when you're away you will get straight into diving in open water.
What do I need to start?
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can complete the PADI Open Water referral. If you are between 10 and 14 or have a child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Open Water referral program available.
A PADI Jr Open Water Diver between the ages of 10 and 12 years may only dive with a PADI Professional, a certified parent or certified guardian to a maximum depth of 12 metres/40 feet.
What will I do?
Throughout the course, you’ll learn fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. You'll complete five pool dives and knowledge development sessions.
What will I need?
PADI Open Water Crew-Pak
PADI Open Water Video or DVD
Log Book
Where can I go from here?
After completion of the Open Water Referral program you can arrange the completion dives with a PADI Dive Centre or resort at your next holiday location. See the
