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 PADI Open Water Referral course is the first step in becoming a certified PADI Diver.

What will I do?

The PADI Open Water Diver Referral course consists of two main phases:

Knowledge Development

Self-study knowledge development and 2 classroom sessions

Confined Water Dives

5 dives in a pool to learn the basic scuba skills Leaving the final qualifying open water dives to be completed at a later date, either with us at a more convenient time for you, or abroad on your next holiday! If you don't have a trip booked, we can even put you in touch with our sister Dive Centre in Malta if you are looking for somewhere to finish your course in warmer waters. If you've tried diving through a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, the skills you learned may be credited towards a portion of the full PADI Open Water Referral course. If you have completed this with us within the last 4 weeks we will take your £30 Discover Scuba Diving fee off your PADI Open Water Referral course fee.
