Start your course tuition at home.
As a subprogram of the PADI Open Water Diver program, the PADI Referral Course allows you to get certified quickly and easily by minimizing time constraints whilst on holiday.
The PADI Referral program allows you to start your diving course at home before your holiday in Krabi.
This reduces the amount of time you will spend in our classroom during your holiday.
This PADI pre-entry level certification is perfect for holidaymakers who don’t want to spend half their holiday in a classroom or sitting on the bottom of a pool.
