Headed to a warm destination this winter or just not interested in diving the lakes in Wisconsin and Illinois. Aquatic Adventures provides a program whereby we will take you through the classroom and pool portions of your certification course in Wisconsin and then make arrangements for you to complete the open water dives with another PADI dive center during your vacation.

The big advantage of our referral program is that you will not need to spend your entire vacation learning scuba. Instead you can spend it diving or relaxing on the beach! More than half of your class will be completed before you leave.

Our regular referral program begins in November and runs through April, but you can arrange for a referral at anytime during the year. Aquatic Adventures currently charges $249 for the classroom and pool portions of the course, and you can complete this work in one weekend.

When you complete your classroom and pool dives, Aquatic Adventures processes your paperwork, takes your picture, and sends you to a PADI dive center in the area where you are traveling. The receiving dive center collects a fee for the open water dives. These fees range from $75 to about $300. In most resort areas, the fee for completing the open water dives is about $150 to $175 and includes basic equipment rental.

Once you have completed your four open water dives, You are a certified diver! If you have any difficulties with the process, Aquatic Adventures will be there to help you through.
