Scuba Skills Update or Refresh.

In the post covid world we find ourselves in many divers haven’t dived in a while. A scuba skills update or scuba review is a great way to refresh your memory and regain the confidence in your skill set.

  • 4-30 dives, not dived within 6 months?
  • 30-100 dives, not dived within 12 months?
  • 100 + dives, not dived within 12-18 months?

Then completing a Scuba Skills Update will be greatly beneficial for your trip.  Whilst not compulsory, we believe that being honest with yourself and possibly refreshing your skills is a good thing. Even experienced divers who haven’t dived for a while, often are surprised by how much they forget.

Complete a Scuba skills update to be 100% ready for your trip.

How does it work?

Starting with a quiz, not a test. This gives us an opportunity to see what you remember, or more importantly what you may have forgotten. This can be done before you arrive in Khao Lak. After this we can talk over some of the key points before heading to our pool and running through the skills.
The skills included are not only important for your safety, but also for your comfort. This is the main reasons we recommend taking the time to complete a skills review or update.
We really believe it allows you to get the best out of your Similan Liveaboard adventure.
If you have any questions regarding the Scuba Skills Update get in touch.
