Padi Referral Course

The Referral Course is interesting for PADI Scuba Divers who wish to obtain their PADI Open Water licence or for those who prefer to do the theory and pool trainings in their own country and do the open water dives in the warm waters of the Red Sea. Your PADI Instructor will give you a referral form in which he has indicated what still needs to be done in the dives to come. Do not forget to take this form to our diving school on the first day of the course!

The duration and the program of the Padi Referral Course depends on what still needs to be done to finish the course. Please contact us for the options.

If you really want to learn to dive and obtain an international world-wide diving certificate, you can follow the PADI Scuba Diver OR PADI Open Water course.

Padi Scuba Review

Duration: 1 day.

When you haven't dived for 6 months or even longer, it is recommended to freshen up your knowledge and skills. For the Scuba Review Program you do a bit of self-study (answering 34 multiple choice questions) and go through your knowledge with a PADI Divemaster, PADI Assistant Instructor or PADI Instructor. Together you will refresh the most important diving skills (clearing the mask, breathing from an alternative air source, buoyancy & breath control, ...) and make 2 supervised open water boatdives. An easy way to get back into the diving mode, both physically as well as mentally. Afterwards you can participate into the daily dive trips and take a diving package.
