HURON SCUBA PADI REFERRAL CHECKLIST
 
   Congratulations on completing the classroom and pool diving portion of your PADI Open Water Scuba Diver Course at Huron Scuba (PADI 5-Star Dive Center S-20440)! This checklist discusses the process for completing your PADI Open Water Diver Certification by referral. Upon successful completion, you will earn your PADI Open Water Diver certification card. If you purchased Huron Scuba's Complete Open Water Diver Package during 2006, referral services, digital passport photo, and 1-1/2 weeks of basic rental equipment (BCD, regulator with gauges & compass, tropical wetsuit plus a bag to carry it in) is included.    
Referral Dives Information:
   [  ]
Huron Scuba will recommend a dive operator, hotel, restaurants, etc. on all islands where we have experience. Ask for an appointment with one of our travel experts. We can also arrange your hotel or dive packages to assure the best quality and value based upon our experience. Remember, travel bookings paid through Huron Scuba also earn Dive Team Rewards!
   [  ] Your Referral Instructor will require that you successfully perform all of the diving skills you acquired in the pool. You will also be taught to use your compass underwater. If you do not feel ready for certification dives, contact us immediately to schedule additional instruction. If it has been several months since your pool dives, a refresher course is strongly encouraged to improve your comfort, safety, and likelihood of success during your open water dives.
   [  ]
We highly recommend that you upgrade your DAN Student Insurance to regular status before your dives because the student insurance provides limited coverage and expires as soon as you complete your last certification dive. Call DAN at 1-800-446-2671 and tell them you want to upgrade your student membership; use Sponsor Code #414981.
   [  ]
Make sure we have taken your passport photo to use for your certification card, which will save you the time, expense, and related delay of obtaining those photographs after certification. We can email it to your referral Dive Center and/or you for quick access.
   [  ]
So that we may complete our paperwork and get your feedback on your certification instructor, please stop by to tell us about your dives and let us copy your logbook pages for your file. Your original instructors care about your ultimate success and may call you to follow up.

You have earned the first half of the prestigious PADI Open Water Diver certification card, which is a terrific accomplishment. Insist that your Referral Instructor be a trained professional who lets you prove to yourself that you are ready! You have hired them for their expertise and you should expect nothing less than a thorough Open Water evaluation to build confidence in these essential skills in case they are needed.

Equipment Information:

You must complete a rental reservation form and reserve specific equipment to ensure you get the equipment and sizing that you desire. We recommend you make your equipment reservation immediately after your pool dives so we can easily refer to the equipment you used in the pool. You may pick up your rental gear 1-2 days before your trip. The student rental package, if not included in your 2006 Complete Open Water Diver Package, would be $79.

You must provide your personal snorkeling equipment as you did in the pool; remember to bring your personal mouthpiece so it may be installed on your rental regulator!

Consider upgrading your Open Water Certification Dives: add a rental dive computer and a set of gloves for just $49.
   [  ] If you decide to invest in your own scuba equipment (at least a regulator set with gauges and/or computer and a BCD), you will get a $100 gift certificate for doing so at this time.
