THE CERTIFICATION

PADI Open Water in Two Days

Over the course of two days you complete the practical dives and skills needed to earn a lifelong PADI Open Water certification, finishing with your certification eCard upon successful completion.

THE FORMAT

Shore-entry, Morning Dives

Daily sessions begin early and run through the morning; participants gear up, walk to the beach and enter the water from shore to complete the open-water dives and associated skills.

THE REFERRAL

Finish What You Started

If you've already completed the confined-water (pool) dives and the eLearning portion of your Open Water course with another operator, you may finish the course here with a referral.

What the day feels like

What the two-day course feels like

The program concentrates practical instruction into two mornings of hands-on work: students practice and demonstrate the open-water skills required by PADI, complete the remaining dives, and finish the course prepared to dive anywhere in the world.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this course is right for — and who needs to meet prerequisites.

Students finishing via referralIdeal for divers who completed their confined-water (pool) dives and eLearning elsewhere and want to finish the open-water dives in Lahaina with a local instructor under a referral.

New open-water candidatesAppropriate for learners enrolling in the two-day practical portion, provided they meet any prerequisites set by the operator; check referral rules if you began training elsewhere.

Time-pressed travelersA compact, two-day practical schedule suits travelers who need to complete certification over a short stay; confirm prerequisite completion if you started the course elsewhere.

Those not yet through pool/eLearningNot a fit unless you complete confined-water and eLearning portions first—this operator accepts referral students who have finished those components elsewhere.
