Referral Training
The Universal Referral Program was founded in 1998 by IDEA, NASDS, NAUI, PDIC, SSI and YMCA. The program established standardized referral procedures which allows a student to start a training program in one location, and complete the program in another location with any participating agency.
While PADI does not actively participate in the universal referral program, MBT Divers is a PADI dive center, and PADI referral dives are available, allowing everyone to take advantage of the program.
The program has been immensely popular with students from landlocked or northern areas where conducting training dives is not always available or easy. Students wishing to complete a referral program usually complete all of the academic and confined water (pool) portions of the course with the home shop, and then complete the required dives with MBT.
There is some special paperwork that must be filled out by the referring instructor, and referral dives must be coordinated in advance. MBT's staff instructors will gladly discuss the program with you and your referring instructor to answer any questions and make sure that your training goes smoothly.
The price for MBT Divers referral program includes all required dives, all equipment rental, all airfills, and administrative fees.
