Welcome to the most popular scuba course in the world, the 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 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 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 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.
