PADI Open Water Diver certification
A student diver must present the PADI Universal Referral Form for Open Water Diver Certification to a dive instructor. It states that the diver took initial training from another diver training organization. The form directs the instructor of diving to complete the student’s open-water dives and sign a declaration. This statement should be sent to the original instructor so that they can certify the diver.
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. Usually, this is a two or three-day course. During this time, you must be able to dive with your buddy to a maximum depth of 60 feet/18 meters.
Statement of medical necessity
If you're looking to get certified as a scuba diver, then you'll want to fill out a Medical Statement for Universal Referral Form. This form is essential to make sure that you are as healthy and fit as possible before you start diving. It's designed to ensure your safety while you're underwater, so make sure to answer every question honestly.
First, ensure that your doctor signs the form. This is mandatory when you begin your training as an scuba diver. If you've developed a new medical condition, a new medical release is necessary. Last but not least, make sure you have a photocopy to your certification card.
Logbook
A medical statement is required before a diver can open-water dive. This will usually be completed before the certification course begins. A doctor must sign the medical release. Changing medical conditions require a new medical release. PADI provides a medical release. The PADI Release or Assumption of Risk/Nonagency Acknowledgement form - General Training or its EU equivalent, the medical release, is available through PADI.
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. The instructor will sign the document certifying that the student has done the required dives. The student must then take this form to the instructor, who will certify him/her as a certified diver.
Course completion requirements
The Universal Referral Program involves most well-known certification agencies in scuba diving. This means that a diver could take the theory, pool and open water courses with the local dive center while completing the open water inspection dives with another 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 Divers requires that students pass the Knowledge Development as well as Open Water Dives sections. Before diving, the student needs to sign a medical release. A student diver must also attach a photo to his or her certificate card. Digital images are acceptable.
