When should I get my scuba diving certification refreshed or how often to do a scuba refresher are common questions asked. It depends on your scuba diving training organization, what their standards are on how often you should do a scuba diving refresher course. This can be 6 months, 12 months, or even longer after your last scuba dive. In the end, it is about your safety, so why not be safe and do a scuba refresher course often.

How much does a scuba refresher course cost?

This depends on the location and the Dive shop, but in general, it is between 20 to 100 USD around the world.

The scuba refresher course is really valuable.

What skills are required for a scuba refresher course?

This also depends on your scuba training organization. Some organizations want you to repeat a strict amount of scuba skills during your refresher course while others are less strict and let you choose what scuba skills you would like to practice/repeat during your scuba diving refresher course. In this youtube video do I covered most scuba skills that you might encounter in your scuba refresher course.

Should I refresh myself in confined water (swimming pool) or open water?

I recommend refreshing yourself first in confined water and if needed ask a Divemaster or Diving Instructor to refresh your scuba skills also in the open water. When you feel comfortable enough you can sign up for a fun dive again or continue your scuba diving education by joining the next course. For example, a lot of people only do the first open water diver course and then might need a scuba refresher course before they join the second advanced open water diver course.

I became a new diver recently and I reference this video before every dive just to stay savvy and keep my dives focused on fun. Thank you so much for this.

[mikef]

This was absolutely fantastic! I needed a good refresher before my next vacation and this really was on point. Thank you!

[Edd]

Having not dived for almost 4 years but going back in on 3 days time I really needed to find a video to help remind me about it all and this is exactly what I was looking for. Many, many thanks for an excellent, easy to follow and understand clear video. Brilliantly simple! Top job! 👍

[sunegroennebaek]

Brilliant.
You just increased diving Safty by a lot.
I’ll watch this before every dive.
Thank you.

[Navigatorbythestars]

Excellent presentation! just don't forget to constantly monitor your SPG gauge while on your dive and you should call the dive at 500 psi so you will have plenty of air for a 3 min. 15' safety stop. And of course, to wash your gear completely with fresh water ( warm if possible ) after your done. Iv'e been diving since 1969 and have been a NAUI/PADI and L.A County Instructor and I want to say that you did a great refresher presentation!

[ryannewman]

Thank you! I know the diving schools like to guard the lessons but you may save someones life by providing it to everyone

[gianna]

I really appreciate this video! I've watched it twice this week as part of my prep for my scuba refresher course. I haven't been able to dive since August 2020, for a number of reasons, after only having 3 dives beyond my OW certification, and I've been so nervous that I've forgotten everything prior to the refresher (and could panic or embarrass myself). This video has really helped me practice skills mentally and calmed my anxiety about the refresher. I'm excited now to get back in the water today and then into the Dead Sea in a few weeks on holiday!

[nially]

Thankyou, completed my open water last year and doing my first dive since qualifying. This bought all my training back to me. No longer nervous. Thankyou

[miapadberg]

I don’t have the opportunity to dive very frequently, but every time I go on a trip I come back to this video for the in-depth and easy to follow refresher. Would give it a like every time if I could!

good basic refresher in general, no excess b.s. no matter what type of equipment one dives a pool refresher is a very good idea, my equipment is alot different but the same idea still applies and Ive been diving since 1978.

[shivlal]

Because of your video many people learn, do this job regularly new video also published, to your way god is always blessed you.

[makiliv]

Many thanks! Your video not only supplements but truly enhances earned certifications and refreshers. Cheers!

We haven't dove since 2020 and this was a great refresher ! Very on point and no nonsense and detailed. Thank you !

[colinarmstrong]

Fantastic refresher video - as good as doing a refresher course after a few years off scuba diving! Highly recommend! 👍

[hermangroenewald]

Excellent refresher video, specially during the COVID where diving was not possible. I like to be fully prepared for a dive to ensure 100% safety.

[dindobiberanueza]
