Not dived lately?

If you have not dived within the last six months, a check dive may be required by the dive centre - one dive from the boat prior to starting your dive package.

If you have not dived for more than 12 months then a scuba review may be required.

This 'refresher' course is ideal to fine tune your skills and buoyancy - two dives conducted from the shore, includes equipment.

Please ensure that you take your logbook and dive card with you.
