Welcome to the most popular scuba course in the world, the PADI Open Water Diver 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.

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.
