The Referral Diver course is a flexible and convenient program designed for individuals who want to start their scuba certification at home and complete it elsewhere, such as during a vacation. It allows you to split your training into two parts: theory and confined water sessions at your local dive center, and open water dives at a destination of your choice.
 
Online Learning
The course begins with digital resources that provide a solid foundation in scuba diving theory. You'll cover topics such as:
Diving principles, including buoyancy and pressure.
Equipment handling and maintenance.
Dive planning and safety procedures.
 
This self-paced learning ensures you can study at your convenience, preparing you for the practical aspects of the course.
 
Confined Water Sessions
After completing the theory, you'll move on to confined water training in a controlled environment, like a swimming pool. Under the guidance of your instructor, you'll:
Practice essential scuba skills, such as mask clearing, regulator retrieval, and buoyancy control.
Learn emergency procedures, including air-sharing techniques and equipment troubleshooting.
Build confidence in a safe and supportive setting.
 
These sessions are designed to ensure you're comfortable and proficient before progressing to open water dives.
 
Open Water Dives
The unique aspect of the Referral Diver course is the flexibility to complete your open water dives at a dive center of your choice, anywhere in the world. This is particularly beneficial for those planning to finish their certification during a holiday.
During the open water dives, you'll:
Apply the skills learned in confined water sessions to real-world diving conditions.
Gain experience in diverse underwater environments, such as coral reefs or shipwrecks.
Complete the final steps to become a certified diver.
 
Your chosen dive center will guide you through these dives, ensuring safety and providing constructive feedback.
 
Certification
Upon successful completion of the Referral Diver course, you'll earn a globally recognized scuba certification. This qualification allows you to dive independently with a buddy, opening up a world of underwater exploration.
This program is ideal for those who want to maximize their vacation time by completing the initial training at home.
