What will I learn in the PADI Open Water Referral Course?
The Most Popular Open Water Referral Course consists of three segments, two of which you’d complete elsewhere:
The PADI Open Water Course is designed to be modular. Conveniently this means you can split the course between separate dive centres and locations as you wish. The most popular Referral Course format entails you completing your theory and confined skills at your home dive centre, then completing the 4 open water dives here on Ko Lanta. There are however a variety of options, such as just needing the final open water dive.The documentation you need to bring from your home Instructor is either a copy of your Student Record file, or a referral form. Your Instructor needs to sign you off on all the parts you have completed already. Then your PADI Instructor here, can just continue where you have left off.
