PADI SCUBA REFRESHER

Are you a certified diver but it's been more than a year since your last dive? If so, then it’s a good & safe idea to enroll in our PADI Scuba Review (refresher) course.
 

Many charter operators will insist you take a refresher class if it has been more than 18 months since your last dive. Be proactive and do this before you leave for your dive vacation. Don’t put yourself in the position of not being able to dive because the charter operator doesn’t have an instructor or divemaster available to accompany you.

 

COURSE DETAILS

Students will be issued a Scuba Tune-up guidebook to study independently and refresh themselves so they are able to get back in the water!

 

 

PREREQUISITES

  • Be at least 12 years old

  • Minimum of PADI  Open Water Diver

  • Good physical health & adequate swimming skills are a must
