Open Water Referral Course

Open Water Referral Course Overview

The Open Water Referral Course in Kihei offers a convenient way to complete your scuba certification by starting at home and finishing in Maui. Divers complete their academics and pool sessions locally, then come to Maui to complete the open water dives. This course includes instruction and gear for $449.

Course Details and Requirements

Participants must bring their referral paperwork and medical waiver (with physician’s clearance if applicable) to Maui Dreams Dive Co. A copy of these documents must be sent to the shop as soon as possible. Non-PADI referrals are not accommodated unless notified in advance.

Schedule and What to Expect

The course runs over two days: Day 1 from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. meeting at the shop and then proceeding to the dive site; Day 2 from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. meeting at the dive site and finishing at the shop. On the first day, divers get fitted for equipment and complete paperwork before diving.

Before arrival, divers must complete the digital course materials purchased separately through PADI and complete all pool training with their home dive shop. The original instructor provides the training record (referral form) to continue the course seamlessly in Maui.
