PADI Open Water Referral Cozumel

If you want to get certified and dive in paradise without spending your precious vacation time in a classroom and learning skills in the pool, you can complete the Knowledge Development sessions online with the eLearning program or at your local dive shop and you can complete the Confined Training Dives at your local pool or dive center. 
Then all you need to do once you’re in Cozumel is to successfully complete the 4 Open Water training dives over 2 half days.

The PADI Open Water Referral Course is for students who have already completed the Knowledge Development and Confined Water Training Sessions.

The PADI Open Water Diver Referral course consists of three main phases:
1. Knowledge development to understand the basics of scuba diving.
2. Confined water/ pool dives to learn basic scuba skills.
3. Open water dives to use your skills and explore.

Knowledge Development:

During the first phase of your scuba lessons, you’ll learn the basic principles of scuba diving such as

• What to consider when planning dives.
• How to choose the right scuba gear for you.
• Underwater signals and other diving procedures.
• How to prevent and deal with problems.

You’ll learn this valuable information by reading it in the PADI Open Water Diver Manual with your instructor at your local dive shop or by using the PADI Open Water Diver eLearning. At the end of each online chapter, you’ll answer knowledge reviews and quizzes about the material to ensure you understand it. At the end of the course, you’ll take an final exam that ensures you have thorough knowledge of scuba diving basics.

Once you arrive to the Jungle Divers’ dive shop, with your friendly and very patient PADI insructor, you will go through a review of what you have learned and a quick review exam to top it off.

Confined Training Sessions:

You’ll develop basic scuba skills in a pool or in confined water – a body of water with pool-like conditions. The basic scuba skills you learn during your certification course will help you become familiar with your scuba gear and become a skilled underwater explorer.
Some of the essential skills you learn include:

• Setting up your scuba gear.
• How to get water out of your mask.
• Entering and exiting the water.
• Buoyancy control.
• Basic underwater navigation.
• Safety procedures.
• Underwater communication.

You’ll practice these skills with an instructor until you’re comfortable. When you’re ready, it’s time for your underwater adventure to begin at an open water dive site.
