Tour Summary

Our Bahamas Open Water Referral courses allow you to finish your certification dives right here in the beautiful islands of the Bahamas. Get your book work and pool work done prior to your Bahamas trip and then experience the world of actual scuba diving right here in one of the world’s top scuba diving destinations. This is the best way to get certified in the Bahamas but still have plenty of time to do other things, including going on some extra dives!

The Open Water Referral course includes a total of four dives on two days. You will be accompanied by one of our expert dive masters who will be on hand to make sure you are performing the diving and breathing techniques properly. The dive site you go on will depend on the day’s conditions but you are sure to be at one of the best sites on the coral reef system that surrounds the Bahamas.

What is an Open Water Referral Course?
An open water referral course allows students to complete all classroom and pool work at home with a local dive shop. The local dive shop issues the students referral forms, which a different dive shop uses to verify the training before allowing them to complete their open water check out dives.

What is included in the Referral Course?
The open water referral course includes a review of the classroom and pool work. Also included are your four check out dives needed to complete your certification.

Is all equipment included in the cost of the course?
All of your diving equipment is included in the price of the dive.

Can my non-diving partner come on the dive?
No, unfortunately certification courses are for divers only.

I have been to the Bahamas many times, but Open Water Referral is one of my favorite trips! It includes everything that everyone should do here. As a Bahamas veteran, I can say only the best about this experience!

Thanks to the professional guides! I was a bit worried about kayaking because I had never done it before, but the instructions were great and I had such a good time!
