Scuba Refresher/Tune Up Course with Dayo Scuba

A Scuba Refresher/Tune Up is an easy and fun way to get reacquainted with scuba diving after a period of inactivity. Most divers won't admit it, but often they experience some level of anxiety when returning to the water after not diving for a period of time. Taking a refresher course and reviewing dive theory and skills before diving helps to reduce pre-dive anxiety and makes a return to diving more enjoyable.

If it has been more than a year since your last scuba dive, we advise completing a pool and even an open water session as part of your refresher.

A refresher course consists of a gear review & fitting session at the dive store, then the water or pool session(s). This is a one day event, but you can signup for multiple days, like the pool and a spring or lake (depending on where we are doing our checkout dives),

We advise you review your open water materials prior to the waterwork. There is no written test for the refresher course, but students feel more comfortable with dive theory once they have reviewed this material. Pay special attention to topics such as dive table/computer use and buoyancy and pressure-depth relationships. Short reviews of small amount of information are often more effective than a long study session.

We do private or class refreshers. For private refreshers, we schedule the gear review & fitting and water sessions around your schedule. Click here for current pricing on private refresher courses.

For class refreshers, we invite you to join in with a regularly scheduled open water class session, click here too see schedule and available dates.

Refresher students should own their own basic gear (mask, fins, snorkel and booties). We can rent anything you need though. If you need to purchase gear, we have a great selection, with some very nice discounts.

Throughout your refresher dive(s), you will repeat most of the basic skills you learned in your Open Water Course. We will also help you check out any new gear you have.

We often start the refresher class with some swimming around & working on buoyancy. We progress to doing most of the skills you learned in your Open Water Course.

The dive sites we use depend on the season. We do our pool sessions locally in a heated pool. During the summer months (May-October) we train at Lake Denton, a nice, warm water lake that has turned into a scuba park. This site is south of Orlando. During the winter months we train at the local springs; usually Alexander Springs, located just north and west of Orlando.
