Why struggle and waste your first dive back in the Open Water after a break from diving, trying to remember how everything works, when you can easily and comfortably get familiar with your diving skills again over one evening pool session or afternoon session.

Our scuba refresher course includes the dive professional, any gear you may need and pool fees. We start by meeting at the dive shop where you will gather together your dive kit. This will remind you about your gear sizes and we can run through an 'idiot check' to make sure you have all the necessary dive kit accounted for. Alternatively, if you have your own equipment, we can make sure this is in good working condition (and still fits).

For afternoon sessions at the weekend we meet at the shop at 12:30pm before heading over to the pool.

For sessions during the week we begin at approx 10am at the dive shop.

We use the Olympic pool in Newmarket which has a 4.4m deep end and access to the shallow end of the lane where we can go though a variety of skills. The skills circuit will include:

• assembling your scuba unit
• putting it on and adjusting it
• buddy checks
• entries
• weight checks
• mask skills
• regulator skills
• buoyancy skills
• ascent/descents
• out of air emergencies
• finning techniques
• swimming with scuba
• exits
• kit breakdown and post dive care.

Contact us at the dive shop to book your Refresher date.

You must be a certified Diver to attend a dive refresher. Proof of certification is mandatory.

TESTIMONIALS

Hi Anna,

Thank you so much to you and to John for the session last night. I had a great time…I must admit I was a little nervous after so long out of the water but you both made it a really enjoyable experience and the time flew by. Look forward to seeing you both again soon

Best wishes,
Vanessa

 

I really appreciate Global Dive’s excellent response to my enquiry and I am very impressed with the willingness of the people I have communicated with in meeting my request.

Hello,

Thank you so much for Monday night! I had so much fun, you taught me lots and i am now so excited and more confident for the first chance I get to dive

Thank you again,
Vicky

Just wanted to say that Tony was a really good instructor. He was patient and good humoured with us. Made sure we understood everything before moving on to the next task. Was personable and approachable which made asking questions and assistance easy.

Thanks,
Grace

Beautiful

Thanks a lot Kate! I really appreciate this and your instruction today! You were very calm and clear, and the day was fun!

See you around, and I'll keep your Saturday dives in mind.
Cheers
Jamie

Thanks Kate, also glad to see you didn't freeze to death in Lake Pupuke yesterday.

Also thanks again for the refresher course, I got a lot of value out of it and feel a lot more confident knowing I'll enter the water in Fiji knowing the safety basics

A wonderful experience from Global Dive for my Refresher PADI course. Our instructor was very calm throughout the entire process even though we were running late (not GD’s fault). It was a very useful course which refreshed my memory and made us all feel safer when venturing out in the water this summer. Thank you Team Global.
