Open Water Referrals
Finish your Open Water certification dives with Scuba Network—locally, in Florida, or anywhere you travel
How the Open Water referral works
After completing your pool and class series, 4 open water dives are required to complete the certification process.
If you’ve been referred from another instructor or training organization, you can complete those dives with Scuba Network (seasonally in the Northeast) or in Florida year-round. We also accept referrals from all major certification organizations.
