The PADI Scuba Review 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 PADI Scuba diver.

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

Most dive operations in the world require that divers take a refresher course if it has been over one year since their last dive. This program will satisfy those requirements. The duration of this program is approximately three hours and is conducted off the beach.



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.
