Get wet again? SDI Inactive Diver/Refresher Program

The SDI Inactive Diver/Refresher Program is also known as a refresher course. It is designed for certified divers who need refreshing on their Scuba skills. Especially if it has been over a year since you been in the water. This course is also a prerequisite for continuing education courses such as upgrading from a junior diver or Scuba diver.


Ready to get back in the water?

We have 3 options for you to choose from depending on your experience and comfort level.

Essentially, it’s the open water course without the pressure of the having to take the open water exam.

This is program that typically mirrors the SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Course schedule.

The course is performance-based so we do not like to rush. We want to make sure everyone is safe and fully understands the skills of the day. So there is a start time but never a set finish time.
