Scheduling Options

 Standard or Private?

Standard courses normally take 3 to 4 hours and are conducted on Thursday evenings.

Have a difficult schedule or would you just prefer to work one-on-one with your Instructor?  That's easy enough.  We will create a private class for you and your Instructor on a schedule that is convenient for you.

Open Water Diver Refresher

The SCUBA refresher course is conducted at our training facility on Anderson Lane. Some time is spent in the classroom reviewing and refreshing your knowledge of SCUBA diving. Most of the time is spent in our in-door heated pool reviewing basic skills, practicing bouyancy control, and refamiliarizing yourself with SCUBA equipment.


Our private course option allows you to pick any available pool time to receive one on one instruction.


Our Instructors and Divemasters will work with you to tailor your experience so that you get exactly what you need to be prepared for your next SCUBA trip. 


If you need to purchase some SCUBA or snorkeling equipment you'll receive our student discount on all purchase. Not ready to make a purchase? No problem. Rental snorkeling gear is available for $50. If you choose to make a purchase after your refresher, we'll credit half your rental fee towards your purchase.

I haven't been diving in years, what should I do?

If it's been a long time since you've been underwater and you want more of a refresher than an hour of classroom time and a couple of hours in the pool will provide, ask us about auditing a PADI Open Water Diver course.  This is a great option for people that want the latest information available about SCUBA diving and would like some confined water (pool) practice and some open water practice.  We'll put you through the same course as an Open Water Diver.

The audit option is a great way to go for people who are getting a family member or friend into SCUBA diving for the first time and need to update their own knowledge and skills. The biggest benefits are that you and your new dive buddy will be on the same page, have practiced all the skills the same way, and will have completed 4 open water training dives under the supervision of our dive professionals.

PADI ReActivate

Haven’t been diving lately and want a quick scuba refresher? 

The ReActivate™ program is the perfect way to update your dive skills and knowledge from the PADI Open Water Diver Course before jumping back into the water. Whether you want a few reminders or need to go over the basics, ReActivate is personalized for you: You conveniently review scuba concepts on your tablet, mobile device or computer, then go diving with a PADI Professional. 

It’s quick and easy, and a good way to prepare for your next PADI course or get ready for a dive vacation. The best part is, divers who complete both the knowledge and inwater skill refresher receive a replacement certification card with a ReActivated date on it.

Any certified diver who wants a refresher or pre-travel update should ReActivate. Dive shops appreciate seeing a recent ReActivate date on your certification card because it means you’re ready to dive in.

If you want to learn more about diving in a new area or in different dive conditions, also ask about completing a Discover Local Diving experience at a local dive site.

If you can’t access ReActivate, or can’t access in your language your PADI Instructor can still complete a scuba skills review with you.
PURCHASE ReACTIVATE
Your PADI certification does not expire. Participation in PADI ReActivate™ is not mandatory, but recommended as an easy way to refresh your foundational scuba safety knowledge and skills if you haven’t been diving in a while. Divers who complete both the knowledge and in-water skill refresher receive a replacement certification card with a “ReActivated thru” date on it.

Popular Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.
  • I haven’t been diving for 20 years, is this an appropriate class for me?

    Your certification is a lifetime certification but some dive resorts will require proof that you have dove within the last 6 months or year (each resort varies on their policies).  Some people who haven't been diving for a long time may feel more comfortable taking the Open Water class, especially if they have a friend/significant other starting class so they can learn how to dive together.

  • What skills do you review in the refresher class?

    We review the basic skills such as gear assembly, mask removal, regulator recovery, buoyancy and more.  If there is something specific you want to concentrate on please let your instructor know.

  • I am going on a trip and the dive operator needs proof I’ve dove recently. Do I get a card or any documentation that I completed the refresher?

    Please bring your logbook to class so the instructor can sign it.  You can also sign up for PADI ReActivate.   Divers who complete both the knowledge and inwater skill refresher receive a replacement certification card with a ReActivated date on it.

  • How often should I do a refresher?

    PADI recommends you refresh your skills if you have been out of the water for 6 months or more.
