Haven't dived in 2-4 years? A refresher is highly recommended before joining a boat charter. Choose either a pool refresher course or hire a private guide for your dive.

Haven't dived in 5+ years? A refresher is required before joining a dive trip. You must complete either a pool refresher course or book a private guided refresher dive.

Why is this important? Diving with a group requires solid buoyancy control and familiarity with safety skills. Rusty divers may need more time and assistance, which could impact their own safety and the experience of others.
