The Scuba Refresher

 

Refresh your practical scuba skills in a pool up to BSAC Ocean Diver level or equivalents such as PADI Open Water or PADI Advanced Open Water level (excludes Nitrox training).

​

We run the Scuba Refresher over two Wednesday evenings, 20.30-22.15. So you'll be in the pool both days. Practising skills with an instructor over two sessions provides the best learning/refresher.

 

At the end of the sessions, you should:

 

• Be able to assemble scuba equipment

• Be able to conduct a Buddy Check and have good buddy skills

• Be able to clear and replace your mask

• Be able to clear and replace a demand valve

• Have a good finning action

• Have good buoyancy control skills – have achieved a horizontal trim position underwater

• Have good rescue skills – full alternative source (AS) ascent and controlled buoyant lift (CBL) with tow

• Be confident with deeper entry and exit techniques

• Know the signals for ‘OK’, ‘stop’, ‘up’, ‘down’, ‘you watch me’, ‘you do’ and ‘something wrong’

• Be able to dismantle and wash down a scuba unit

 

We provide the kit. If you have your own suit, mask, fins etc, please use these if you like. 

​

Upon completion of the Scuba Refresher you will receive a BSAC certificate.
