Has it been a while since your last dive?

Our Refresher Dive program is the perfect way to regain your confidence and refresh your skills in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you’ve been out of the water for a few months or a few years, our experienced instructors will guide you through the key skills and knowledge you need to dive safely and comfortably. This session is tailored to your needs, ensuring you’re ready to enjoy your next underwater adventure.

What to Expect

Personalized Skill Review:

  • We start with a quick chat to understand your experience level, any concerns you might have, and the specific skills you’d like to revisit. This allows us to tailor the session to your unique needs.

  • You’ll then participate in a review of essential scuba diving skills, either in a pool or in shallow, calm water. This includes clearing your mask, regulator recovery, buoyancy control, and other key skills.

    In-Water Practice:

    • After the skill review, you’ll have the opportunity to practice these skills under the guidance of your instructor. This hands-on session is designed to build your confidence and ensure you’re comfortable with the basics.

    • You’ll also refresh your buoyancy control and get reacquainted with your equipment, helping you feel at ease underwater.

  • Open Water Dive:

    • For those who want to put their refreshed skills to the test, we will then embark on an open water dive following the skill review. This dive gives you the chance to explore a local dive site under the supervision of your instructor, applying what you’ve reviewed in a real-world setting.

All divers should feel confident and empowered in their diving skills. It never hurts to have extra practice.
