PADI Open Water Diver Referral

EXPLORE YOUR COURSE

Start your training at home before completing your certification dives in Phuket.

About the course

Can’t wait to get scuba-certified on your upcoming vacation? Get a head start with a PADI Open Water Referral system. This option allows you to complete some of your scuba training at home, then finish your certification dives here in Phuket. By completing theory and pool sessions in advance, you can then focus on the fun part—diving and exploring underwater—while on holiday.

If you have started your training with another PADI dive centre, you can complete your open-water dives here in Phuket. This is not a stand-alone course, and pricing will vary based on the amount of previous training you have completed. 

Requirements:

Your previous dive centre should provide you with your own eLearning and the PADI Open Water Diver Course Referral form.

Certification

Yes - Level 1 Certification.
