SSI Open Water Referral Course
Price
A popular option, especially during the winter months, is the Open Water Referral course. The indoor theory and pool sessions are completed through Sharky’s for a fee of $349 + tx.
You then complete the open water dives at another dive training facility, such as an exotic destination while on a scuba vacation. The fees for their rentals and certification are determined by the individual shops.
This allows you to actually dive while on holiday, instead of spending you time indoors. If you choose this option, please specify it when you come in to Sharky’s for course signup.
