Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah Open Water Diving — PADI Open Water Diver Referral Course, finish your education at Fujairah!
If you successfully completed the entire theory and the pool skills practice in your country and wish to pass the open water part of OWD course in Emirates the PADI Open Water Diver Referral course is what you need!
Becoming a certified diver has three phases
- Phase one: Knowledge development. This is the theory part of the PADI Open Water Course, and you can learn in the classroom or with PADI eLearning at your own pace from home or wherever you are.
- Phase two: Confined water. This is where you get to go underwater for the first time! You’ll practice using scuba gear in a pool (or pool-like environment) until you’re comfortable. During the confined water sessions, you’ll learn the basic scuba diving skills in a progressive order, where each skill builds on the ones previous to it. PADI training includes practice “mini dives” to help you build confidence in your new abilities and practice your skills in various scenarios.
- Phase three: Open water dives. This is the best part – it’s what you’ve been waiting for! The open water portion includes four dives in open (unrestricted water), including bodies of water such as the sea, lake, or flooded quarries.
What is a PADI Open Water Referral?
A PADI referral allows you to complete most of your scuba training at home and then finish your certification dives anywhere in the world. You’ll complete all of the classroom theory in advance, and while you are on holiday, you get to enjoy the fun part underwater! You’ll complete some or all of the two phases (knowledge development and confined water) with an open water referral before leaving home. You can finish the final part of your scuba course, the open water dives in our diving center.
