Open Water Referral
The Akumal Dive Shop offers the PADI Open Water Referral course. The referral allows you to complete your four open water dives with one of our PADI instructors after completing the academic and confined water (pool) portions at home. Many of our clients choose this option so they can enjoy their dives in the warm Caribbean Sea or reduce the amount of time required to complete the full course here.
All you need to do is bring a referral letter from the instructor of any recognized scuba diving certifying agency and dedicate two days of you vacation to completing the 4 dives! PADI open water students can also be referred to another instructor at any point during the open water course. After an easy academic and water skills assessment, our Instructors can continue your training at any point in the course.
