Refresher Dive
Shake off the rust with a guided skills review before you get back in the water — ideal if it's been 6 months or more since your last dive.
A short, guided program for certified divers who haven't been in the water for a while. We review basic safety skills, equipment handling and buoyancy control in shallow water before heading out for a full open-water dive with an instructor.
