West End Divers
West End, Roatan, Honduras • since 1991

A great option, that will have you spending less of your vacation time in the classroom while getting your Open Water certification, is PADI’s Open Water Referral program.

With this option you take your academic and shallow water (pool) training with a dive center at home prior to your trip here.  When you arrive your training begins in the pristine tropical waters of the Caribbean right in front of our shop. Just four dives with your Instructor here on the Barrier reef and your certification is complete.

Although we are a PADI Dive Center, we are able to offer training to students from other certifying agencies (SSI, NAUI, PSAI, etc.) by crediting your training towards a PADI certification, or by using the Global Referral program. Talk to your Instructor about these options, as there is nothing better than getting your certification in warm clear water! Please feel free to contact us for details about these options.

Course duration: 2 days (four Open Water dives)

Course pre-requisites:  Signed referral form from your Instructor at home, and a copy of the completed  Medical Statement (PDF).

Course price: $200 (or $50 per dive to complete your certification). All taxes, and equipment are included.
