On arrival at Legend Diving Penida, we will greet you with a hot cup of coffee and a smile. Your Padi Instructor will start by reviewing the self study work you have already completed together with all the online forms. Its the perfect time to ask any questions you had during the self study or present any concerns about the online forms. A quick review will be given to make sure you have fully understood all the basics of scuba diving before getting to the practical part.

After, is where we will put the theory into practice with your first confined water session. Before entering the pool, your instructor will introduce you to the equipment that you will be using. First, an explanation of the equipment will be given and followed by assembly techniques. Once the equipment is assembled, a dry run of how it all works together will be demonstrated and practiced. After you have a clear understanding, we will then head to the pool for skills practice.

Upon entering the pool, your instructor will demonstrate the course skills and watch as you copy and practice them.

The skills range from; entry + exit techniques, clearing a flooded mask, buoyancy control, and of course, safety procedures. These skills, plus the extras, will certainly prepare you for the open water, ocean sessions.

Finally, the moment you have been waiting for has arrived, its open water time! Before heading out for the day, your instructor will provide a dive briefing to you. The briefing includes; dive site conditions, marine life at these sites, and of course, skills that need to be completed. We will complete 2 open water dives on day 3 with each dive having particular performance requirements to be met. The maximum depth for each dive is 12 meters and we will conduct them at locations suitable to your level.
Once the open water session is over for the day, we will then head back to Legend Diving Penida. At this time, you will have the opportunity to conclude any theory or continue with unfinished confined water sessions.

We have reached the ultimate day of your Open Water Course, and it is almost time to celebrate. Again, your instructor will provide a briefing of the day and the performance requirements that need to be met.

With this in mind, there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy the underwater world, together with the marine life. The chances of visiting the Manta Ray of Nusa Penida are high, making it a great conclusion to the course.

You Still Have Some Questions?

The maximum depth limit for recreational scuba diving is 40 meters/130 feet.  However, as an Open Water Diver, our maximum depth will be 18metres/60 feet.

What If I Can Make It?

Padi Open Water Upgrade & Referral 

What If I Can Make It?

Padi Open Water Referral & Upgrade

Padi Open Water Referral

An Open Water referral allows you to complete your course in a different location if unable to finish with us. Additionally, you can also complete your course with us if you started in a different location and didn’t finish there.

For example, If you started somewhere else but couldn’t finish, your previous instructor will write a referral for you. Thereafter, on arrival at Legend Diving, you will present the referral and our instructors will complete the course with you. Depending on how much you have already done, will determine how much time it will take to complete. It is possible that it could take as little as 2 days and therefore allow you extra time, fun diving. We also have a wide variety of courses available that you could sign up for, too.

Referral Course FAQ

The referral is valid for 1 year from when the form was dated. It is, however, recommended to complete the course ASAP so that your skills are fresh in your mind.

Not a problem! Your original instructor will complete a referral form for you, including the parts of the course you have completed. This form can then be used to complete your course anywhere in the world.

For sure!! One of our instructors will assess your level in our onsite pool before heading to the ocean. They will help you to review your skills and practice as much as you need. Sharing your concerns or questions is advised.

Having a referral will allow for as much time as you need to complete the full Open Water Course. Some take longer than others, and we can also be presented with situations out of our control. The referral helps you to feel less rushed and less pressured to complete the course in a hurry. It is meant for enjoyment, and thus, it will be enjoyed!

The main disadvantage would be to leave too much time in between starting and finishing the course. By leaving long periods of time, you may forget some of the skills, resulting in having to start again. Additionally, It is also nice to finish where you started as you will have a good relationship with the instructors.

We recommend contacting us before you arrive at Legend Diving Penida. It is also advisable to obtain a medical clearance from you GP, beforehand.

The referral helps you to feel less rushed and less pressured to complete the course in a hurry. It is meant for enjoyment, and thus, it will be enjoyed!

The main disadvantage would be to leave too much time in between starting and finishing the course. By leaving long periods of time, you may forget some of the skills, resulting in having to start again. Additionally, It is also nice to finish where you started as you will have a good relationship with the instructors.

We recommend contacting us before you arrive at Legend Diving Penida. It is also advisable to obtain a medical clearance from you GP, beforehand.
