Courses

If you have not been diving for a while and would like to spend some time reviewing your skills with one of our diver professionals, we recommend that you take a refresher session before jumping straight back into the water! This will help you to get the most out of your fun dives during your time with us and you will feel more confident being back in the water. 

We will do a review of basic dive theory and safety procedures, based on the Open Water Diver course, followed by skills review in shallow water with one of our dive professionals. Time spent on skills will depend on your experience and comfort levels. 

Following the skills review session, there is the option to head straight out to the reef to enjoy 1 or 2 nice easy dives! 

  Options: 

• Refresher in shallow confined water, no dives
• Refresher and 1 tank dive
• Refresher  and 2 tank dive
