Information on Refresher Sessions
If you are a certified scuba diver and haven't had a chance to dive in a few months (or even years!), then participating in a scuba refresher is the perfect way to update your skills and ready yourself for your next exciting dive adventure. Most dive operators world-wide are now requiring divers to show proof of either a dive or a refresher within the last 6 months.
Choose from our range of refresher options, from a quick dip in the pool with your buddy, to a full scuba review with a certified PADI Professional. Once you determine which refresher best suits your needs and skill level, please contact Dianna (dianna@oceansports.ca) to arrange a convenient time!

Option 1 - Quick Refresher: $25 + GST per person
If you have not been diving for a few months and are looking to blow a few bubbles and get back into the swing of things, option 1 is perfect for you. You will jump in the pool during one of our regularly scheduled programs and spend up to 1.5 hours practicing your skills, alongside your buddy. Please remember to bring your certification card to show the Ocean Sports' staff member at the pool, as well as any snorkel gear and equipment you own. Gear rental (as needed) is included in the price and must be clearly specified at time of booking. Please contact Dianna (dianna@oceansports.ca) to check available dates and book your refresher.***Note this option will NOT provide a signature in your log book for a certified refresher, as you are not working directly with a PADI professional.
Option 2 - Certified Refresher: $45 + GST per person (2 or more)e; $60 + gst for one diver
If you have not been diving for 1-2 years, you may wish to review specific skills doing a "Scuba Tune-Up". Working with an Ocean Sports PADI professional (divemaster or instructor level), you will spend 1.5 hours in the pool completing a 20-skill circuit, including stride entry, mask clearing and removal, fin pivots, etc., as well as gear hook up and disassembling. Upon completion of the skill circuit, the divemaster/instructor will sign your log book showing this recent refresher. Please remember to bring your certification card and log book, as well as any snorkel gear and equipment you own. Gear rental (as needed) is included in the price and must be clearly specified at time of booking. Please contact Dianna (dianna@oceansports.ca) to check available dates and book your refresher.
Option 3 - Certified Refresher Plus: $75 + GST per person
If you are feeling a bit rusty about dive tables or any other areas of diving, and would like a dry land session with an Ocean Sports PADI professional (divemaster or instructor level), this option is for you! It includes all of the same in-water skills as Option 2, with an added "classroom" session before the pool. Typically this will conducted informally on the pool deck at NAIT, where the DM/Instructor is able to review any necessary material you wish to cover. Please remember to bring your dive tables/manual, certification card and log book, as well as any snorkel gear and equipment you own. Gear rental (as needed) is included in the price and must be clearly specified at time of booking. Please contact Dianna (dianna@oceansports.ca) to check available dates and book your refresher.
