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

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.

We do our open water dives in a safe and fun environment, Gulliver’s Lake, where we built our very own 20×20 training platform for you to use and feel more comfortable while completing your skills.

                  • ReActivate™ (Refresher Course)

                    $100.00 – $150.00

                    ReActivate™ Your Certification

                    Haven’t been diving lately and want a quick scuba refresher? The ReActivate™ program is the perfect way to update your dive skills and knowledge from the PADI Open Water Diver Course before jumping back into the water. Whether you want a few reminders or need to go over the basics, ReActivate is personalized for you: You conveniently review scuba concepts on your tablet, mobile device or computer, then go diving with a PADI Professional. It’s quick and easy, and a good way to prepare for your next PADI course or get ready for a diving vacation. The best part is, divers who complete both the knowledge and in-water skill refresher receive a replacement certification card with a ReActivated date on it.

                    Any PADI certified diver who wants a refresher or pre-travel update should ReActivate. Dive shops appreciate seeing a recent ReActivate date on your certification card because it means you’re ready to dive in.

                    If you can’t access ReActivate, or can’t access in your language your PADI Instructor can still complete a scuba skills review with you, and you can refresh your diving knowledge with a Scuba Tune-Up manual.

                    *Your PADI certification does not expire.  Participation in PADI ReActivate™ is not mandatory, but recommended as an easy way to refresh your foundational scuba safety knowledge and skills if you haven’t been diving in a while. Divers who complete both the knowledge and in-water skill refresher receive a replacement certification card with a “ReActivated thru” date on it.

                    Using ReActivate Touch (for tablets or mobile devices) or ReActivate Online (for your personal computer), you’ll immerse yourself in dive scenarios and make decisions that test your understanding of important dive safety concepts, dive planning essentials and problem management. Move through ReActivate at your own pace and delve deeper into topics when you need or want to.

                    In the water, your PADI Professional will help you regain comfort and confidence in scuba diving. You’ll practice a few safety-related skills and then go over anything you specifically want to review.

                     

                     

                    Participation in PADI ReActivate™ is not mandatory, but recommended. If you choose to ReActivate™, we will send you the link via email. 


                    Rescue Refresher

                    Want to refresh your Rescue Diver skills? Sign up for the Rescue Refresher course and we will refresh all the rescue skills and scenarios you learned in your PADI Rescue Diver course. After all, these are confidence skills you hope you never use but never want to forget.

                  • Emergency Oxygen Provider

                    $100.00 – $149.99

                    Knowing how and when to use emergency oxygen is a great skill to have and means you’re ready to help others should the need arise. Becoming a PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider lets you breathe easy knowing that you can recognize scuba diving illnesses treatable with emergency oxygen, and are prepared to offer aid.

                    There are no prerequisites, age restrictions or water sessions required for this course – it’s open to everyone. Scuba divers, snorkelers and anyone who is around divers – boat crew, lifeguards, etc. – will benefit from having this training.

                    PADI materials not included.

                  • 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.

                  • Private Snorkeling Lesson

                    Learn snorkeling and skin diving techniques including checking buoyancy, surface swimming, clearing water from your snorkel and performing effortless surface dives.

                    To enroll in this course, you must be at least 8 years old. You need adequate swimming skills and comfort in the water. No prior experience is required. All equipment rentals for this course are included.
