Open Water Training Referral

This program generally takes two days and four dives. With sufficient notice, we can usually offer this course when it’s most convenient for you.

We will need all of the referral paperwork your dive center gave you as well as a copy of your medical history and physician’s approval if one was required.

Pricing is as follows:

• PADI: $549
• All others: $449

Price includes:

• Use of equipment

If you are coming to or have arrived in south Florida with referral paperwork from your local dive center, we can complete your final training dives for certification.

• We can handle referrals for all major training agencies, including NAUI, PADI, SSI, SDI and NASE.

• We will need all of the referall paperwork your dive center gave you as well as a copy of your medical history and physician’s approval if one was required.
