The PADI Open Water Referral is a service provided by Ray Caye, in association with the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI). This program is a flexible approach to diving certification that allows aspiring divers to undergo their dive theory training and confined water dives in one location, and then accomplish their open water dives at another, such as the picturesque Ray Caye.
Once they have completed the open water dives satisfactorily, the participant is bestowed with the PADI Open Water Diver certification. This allows them to dive autonomously, with a partner, up to a maximum depth of 18 metres/60 feet.
The PADI Open Water Referral program is an excellent choice for those who prefer to use their vacation for exciting dives or for those who wish to train and dive in different locations, leveraging the best of what each location has to offer.
