PADI Open Water Diver Referral Courses, Lessons and Classes Tampa Florida (Fl)

Why PADI Open Water Referral Course?
Complete the Classroom Academics and Confined Water (Pool) sessions in your home area then go to sunny, warm Florida for your Open Water Dives.

What do I need to start?
Referral documentation from your originl instructor. This could be a copy of the PADI Open Water Diver Course Record and Referral Form located on the back of the Student Record File or in the blue PADI Diver’s Log and Training Record (Product No. 70047). Note: If one instructor completes all five Knowledge Development, or all five Confined Water Dives and the Watermanship Assessment (at least a 200 metre/yard swim or 300 metre/yard mask, snorkel, and fin swim and a 10 minute tread/float) only one signature is necessary for each section. This is noted on the form. Another form of referral documentation is the Referral Card issued by the orignal instructor or dive center.

Referrals are only valid within 12 months of the last completed training segment. To extend the referral another 12 months, the original or another instructor at the same dive center must conduct a review of the course with you prior your referral class.

After a preassessment session (review of your skills) with your referral instructor you will be ready for your 4 open water dives.
