Bring Your Referral Paperwork to North Florida

Many students across the country complete their classroom theory and confined pool training with a local dive shop or university up north during the winter or spring. However, completing the mandatory four open water training dives locally often means cold, murky quarry or lake water with heavy drysuits.


Instead, book your referral training with SpringAdventures. You simply bring your signed student record folder or digital referral form from your original instructor, and we complete your final four open water checkout dives over two relaxed days in Fanning Springs and Manatee Springs State Parks.


Upon successful completion of your in-water skills, we sign off on your referral paperwork or process your digital certification directly, leaving you fully certified for a lifetime of diving adventures.
