PADI Open Water Diver certification
The PADI Universal referral form for Open Water Diver certification is a document that a student diver presents to a diving instructor. It states that the student diver has completed initial training with another dive training organization. This form instructs the instructor to complete the student’s open water dives and sign a statement. The form should then be sent to the original instructor who should certify it.
Although you can use the Universal Referral Form to obtain the certification, PADI insists that you complete this course within twelve months from your last training. This is usually a two- or three day course. You must be able and willing to dive with your buddy up to 60 feet/18 metres.
Medical statement
You will need to fill out the Medical Statement for Universal Reference Form if you want to become a scuba diving instructor. This important document will help you ensure your health before you dive. This document will ensure that you are safe underwater. Make sure to answer each question honestly.
First, ensure that your doctor signs the form. This is required when you start your training as a diver. A medical release is required for any new medical conditions. You should also take a photocopy your certification card.
Logbook
Before a diver is allowed to dive open water, they must sign a medical form. Generally, this will be done before a certification course begins. A doctor must sign the medical release. Changing medical conditions require a new medical release. A medical release is available through PADI. This medical release is equivalent in size to the PADI Liability Release/Assumption and Risk Form - General Training, or the EU version.
The universal referral form will be different to the one found in a scuba logbook. It will include information about the dives that the student has completed, as well as knowledge development sections. This document also includes an instructor signed certification that the dives were completed. The student is then required to take the form back to their instructor to be certified as a diver.
Completion requirements for courses
The Universal Referral Program covers most well-respected scuba certification bodies. This means that a diver can take the theory and pool part of his or her open water course with his or her local dive center but complete the open water check-out dives with a different agency. This can be accomplished with the assistance of a dive shop that participates in a universal referral program, such as SSI/NAUI/NASDSS/YMCA or any other organization.
PADI Open Water Diver courses require that the student passes the Knowledge Development and Open Water Dives sections. Additionally, the student diver must provide a medical release signed by his or her physician before diving. A photo must be submitted by the student diver to accompany his/her certification card. Digital images are acceptable.
