Welcome to the most popular scuba course in the world, the PADI Open Water Diver course. Many of our students want to do the academic and confined water training of the Open Water course here at Aquarius Scuba, and then while on vacation, complete the 4 Open Water certification dives at another PADI dive shop. You can do this through our Open Water Referral (Class + Pool) Course.

This course includes your manual, logbook with referral signed by your instructor, your classroom and pool session with your instructor, and all scuba gear rentals. The mask, fins and snorkel rental is also included for your pool training. This way you can experience and feel the difference a high quality mask and fins set up makes before you purchase your own. You may use your $50 coupon towards your first such purchase. There are no extra costs or hidden fees.

Product Description

    During this course, you will partake in the classroom and pool sessions that are a standard first portion of the Open Water course. You can also upgrade to the full Open Water Program during the course, should you decide that you wish to complete your scuba training in Toronto. We often find that our students are more comfortable completing the certification with us after they have completed our class and pool sessions. So, if you rather finish everything off with us, let us know! If you do decide to finish your course elsewhere, we will provide you with official documentation that any PADI Instructor and/or facility around the world will recognize and be able to continue on with your certification. This official documentation is your “Referral Letter”, which you will receive in your PADI Open Water Crew Pack.

    So, what are you waiting for? It’s a diver’s world out there! This is the beginning of an adventure you will never forget.

        • Cavern Diver

          $200.00

          Caverns exist in many areas where scuba divers venture – from freshwater springs to volcanic island walls and limestone coasts. In these locations you’ll find large, dark spaces that seem incredibly inviting, yet are potentially dangerous. The PADI Cavern Diver Specialty course gives you the knowledge and skills to explore caverns correctly – allowing you to enter far enough for adventure, but staying within the light zone for an easy exit to open water.

          You need to be PADI Advanced Open Water Diver who is at least 18 years old to enroll in the Cavern Diver course.

        • GUE Fundamentals

          $1,100.00

          The GUE Fundamentals course is by far GUE’s most popular program. It functions as a gateway into GUE training and it is an excellent way to personally experience what GUE is all about.

          Some divers use the Fundamentals course as a way to improve on the less-than-optimal training they have received during traditional fast-track entry-level courses. Others see the course as a ticket to participate in GUE projects and activities. Many technical divers and even experienced instructors from other organizations use the course to improve basic skills and gain access to GUE’s cave and tech-training. It is not uncommon to have divers with very diverse backgrounds in the same class, which makes this course completely unique in the diving industry. Everybody will benefit, regardless of their current level of certification or experience. Graduating this course with a pass is something to be proud of, as the quality of a GUE Fundamentals diver is recognized all over the diving world.
