The PADI Referral System gives you a variety of options to either commence or complete your diving education. If you would like to start you PADI Open Water (Learn to Dive) certification here with us in Cairns and then finish it off elsewhere, then this is the option for you.

You'll spend 2 days at our modern, purpose built diver training centre learning the theory and underwater skills of diving. At the end of day two you will be given your PADI Referral papers that will confirm what you learned and completed. These papers will need to be presented to the instructor who completes your Open Water training.
