Going on holiday ? Want to learn to Scuba Dive ?
Then the Open Water Referral Course is for you. This ever popular course means that you spend less time of your holiday in the classroom and more time diving.
If you start the Referral Option with Fiftybar Diving, all your pool training and theory sessions are completed here in the UK, leaving only the 4 open water dives for you to do whilst on holiday.
The Open Water Referral Course runs in the same way as the first part of the full
PADI Open Water course. When you have finished your training we will sign off your referral forms which we give to you. At this point your ready to take your paperwork abroad
- which you will present to your chosen PADI dive centre, and finish your
course
Course Outline
ACADEMIC TRAINING
The first step is to get your
Open Water Crewpack and PADI DVD and complete independent study at home
Your manual will have 5 chapters with a quiz at the end of each one
- you will need to study each chapter and complete all quizzes
After this you will then have some study sessions with us where we go over each chapter with you and make sure you fully understand everything you need to
To finish there will be a multiple choice final exam
CONFINED WATER TRAINING
There will be 4 pool sessions, taking you through from the basics like kit assembly, to the more advanced skills
- such as hovering and removing and replacing your kit underwater
There is a natural progression with the skills
- each one builds on the last so you gain confidence at a natural pace and never feel out of your depth
You will also be required to
swim 200m any stroke and tread water / float for 10 minutes
We will always make sure you have enough time to practice your skills so you feel ready to go onto the next step.
