PADI Open Water Referral

Padi offer the Referral course for anyone that wishes to complete all of the home study, theory and confined (Skills) in the UK, but would prefer to complete the 4 open water dives on holiday.

At the Oxford Dive Centre we offer this course. We will fill out your log book as proof of everything you have done with us, and you can just hand your book in to your chosen dive centre abroad and they can pick up where we have left off.

Perhaps you have already decided what beautiful destination you would like to visit and complete your course, but if not, perhaps we at the the Oxford Dive Centre can help. We can take you to one of our favourite destinations.

Oxford Dive Centre, Oonasdivers & Red Sea Diving Safari have worked in close partnership for well over a decade.

These referral packages have been created for you, as we know what a diver needs!

Many new divers choose to undertake their first dive courses in the UK where English is a first language and they can be sure that they will receive a high quality level of training. However they often like to combine their experience with a dedicated diving holiday.

For this reason we have chosen our friends at Red Sea Diving Safari to partner with us in providing a joint package where you can complete your academic theory and confined water skills here with us in the UK, before jetting off for the warmer waters of the southern Red Sea, Egypt, where you will be taken through your final qualifying dives, on some of the most beautiful reefs, that are teaming with the life that you so want to see, and with a member of staff from the dive centre, that you are already familiar with.

These packages are fully ATOL bonded by our travel partner Oonasdivers Ltd, the UK’s longest established independent dive tour specialist.

Both Oxford Dive Centre and Oonasdivers have plenty of first hand experience of Marsa Nakari, and we are confident that you will have an amazing time.
