The Scuba Skills Update programme is designed for those, who have not had a chance to dive for a longer time, usually a year or two and want to refresh their skills before going back to exploring the underwater world.
The knowledge part is based on an accessible digital manual that you can read on your computer or in an app on your mobile phone. We can make it available to you even before you arrive to give you more time to process the knowledge.
Each chapter of the manual ends with review questions to help find out if you understand everything. In addition, you also have our instructors to discuss the most important issues with you and clarify any doubts. The goal is for you to revise the essential aspects of diving knowledge, to make sure you understand everything you need in order to dive safely.
We will take you diving to a shallow and easy dive site, where we will start from practicing skills with you in shallow water. Once you remind yourself how to do the basics and you feel comfortable, we will progress into a bit deeper water and practice more.
We will do two sessions in the water, each around an hour and there are two scenarios for them:
The Scuba Skills Update course is a refresher program designed to help certified divers review knowledge and practice essential diving skills. It’s typically offered by diving schools and centres, and helps divers regain confidence after a period away from diving.
Any certified diver who hasn’t dived in a while or feels they need a skills refresher should consider this course. It’s ideal for divers who want to boost confidence and ensure safe diving practices.
The course usually lasts around 4 hours, depending on the diver’s knowledge, skill level and comfort. It consists of a 1-2 hour knowledge refresher session and a practical part in the water that usually takes around 2 hours. Some courses may take a bit longer if the diver needs more time to review or practice certain skills.
The course typically covers basic skills like equipment setup and check, mask clearing, regulator recovery, buoyancy control, finning techniques and emergency procedures. Skills can vary slightly by instructor and diver needs.
Yes, the Scuba Skills Update is perfect for divers who have been out of the water for an extended period. Your instructor will go at your pace to help you regain comfort and confidence.
Yes, the Scuba Skills Update course is intended for certified divers. New divers or those without certification would need to complete an entry-level course like the Open Water Diver course.
It’s not mandatory but is highly recommended if you’ve been inactive for a while. Many dive operators require or suggest a refresher for divers who haven’t dived in the past 18 – 24 months.
We will issue a digital certification card with your details and photo, our details and the date of the course. This card should be accepted by dive centres all over the world as proof that you have refreshed your skills and you are ready to dive.
There is no formal exam, instead you will review your knowledge with your instructor. The goal is to refresh your knowledge and skills, and the main focus is on the practical side and safety.
We will do the practical part of this course in a calm, shallow open-water sitee. That way on one hand we have pool-like conditions to practice the basic skills, but on the other hand we can remind you what it feels like diving in the sea. Plus, if we see you are progressing with your skill refresher quickly, we can go for a dive at the end.
Once you feel confident and competent again, it is time to continue exploring the underwater world. Go diving with us or take another course and progress your skills even further!
