The Open Water Referral option is designed for divers who have already started the first part of their certification elsewhere and are ready to complete it in Cabo San Lucas. As a referral student, you arrive having finished the required theory and confined water sessions, and focus here on the open water dives needed to finalize your PADI Open Water certification. This allows you to train in open water conditions, apply your skills under instructor supervision, and graduate as a fully certified diver, able to dive worldwide with a buddy to a maximum depth of 60 feet / 18 meters.

​

​At Breathe Out Baja, Open Water referral dives are conducted as private sessions, allowing the pace to fully adapt to each diver. Before entering the ocean, we review essential skills and equipment to ensure you feel comfortable in the water. Open water dives are structured and controlled, with an emphasis on proper technique, buoyancy, and awareness rather than simply “checking boxes.” Our focus is on quality training and personal attention, creating a calm, supportive learning environment in which divers can complete their certification with a solid foundation.
