What Does a Refresh Course Look Like?

Instructor refreshing dive theory on the whiteboard

9:30 am Theory Reboot

We'll go over all basic notions of diving theory to refresh the memory. You probably remember everything but there are some concepts that may be rusty, so let's go through them together! It's a great opportunity to ask any questions and to gain confidence.

11:45 am Set Sail!

We'll sail to the diving spot in our private boat, where you can chill, talk to other fellow divers and where your instructor will explain in detail everything about the site and marine life. We have fruit, cookies, tea and coffee for you to enjoy on the boat. Bring your swimwear, sunscreen, water and a towel.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the Refresh course for?

Any certified diver who's been out of the water for a while — whether that's a busy year on land or a decade-long break. It's one day to shake off the rust, rebuild your confidence and get back to enjoying diving, instead of spending your first fun dive worrying about your buoyancy.

How long can I be out of the water before I need a refresh?

We recommend a refresh if you've not dived in 6 months, but it depends on your experience level and how many dives you have. After a year of no diving, it's mandatory.

Do dive schools require a refresh, or is it my choice?

Between 6 and 12 months it's your call — tell us your experience and logged dives and we'll give you an honest recommendation. After a year of no diving the refresh is mandatory with us. And after a long break it's the best money you'll spend — your next dives are twice as enjoyable when you're not fighting your gear.

My certification is from PADI, SSI or another agency — can I do the refresh with you?

Absolutely — certified divers from any recognised agency are welcome. The skills are the same underwater, whatever the logo on your card.

What if I've lost my certification card?

No worries — if you've lost your card we can look you up online. We just need the full name you registered with and your date of birth.
