What to Expect
Prior to showing up for the first day of dive training, divers must complete the digital course materials, which is purchased separately through the training agency (PADI). Students must also have completed all pool training with their home dive shop. The original instructor will provide the student with their training record (referral form) so we can pick up right where they left off.
On your first day of training, we’ll meet at the shop, get you fitted for the equipment that you will be using in class, and complete paperwork. After that, we will head down to the beach where the real fun begins. On day 1 we will complete Open Water Dives 1 & 2.
On the second day, we’ll meet directly at the dive site to complete our last two dives from the beach! After our dives are completed, we will return to the shop to complete logbooks and get you certified!
Students ARE required to provide all of their own transportation to and from the dive sites, so please plan accordingly.

FAQs & Reminders
Is taking a Referral course the right decision for me?
Yes! There are many reasons why a Referral is the best option when learning to dive on Maui. It saves you time and its amazing to get certified in paradise!
My friend is already certified. Can they come with me on this class?
On both days of your class, they could do guided beach dives at the same location where your certification takes place.
