Choose your certification path

Complete through PADI
Pros: Keep your training record and final certification with PADI, and finish with a PADI instructor.
Con: We need complete PADI referral records and must follow PADI completion requirements.

Choose an SDI Global Referral
Pros: Finish with SDI and continue into Stuart Scuba’s SDI training pathway.
Con: This path awards an SDI Open Water Diver certification rather than a PADI certification. Your SDI instructor will verify your completed PADI eLearning. You do not need to buy SDI educational materials for this cross-agency referral. The fee is $499 per student and includes all rental gear, one day of beach dives, and one day of boat dives.

Send your referral paperwork for review before booking. We’ll confirm eligibility, agency requirements, schedule, conditions, and dive plan. Certification requires successful completion of all required skills and dives.
