Scuba Refresher

Got a tropical trip coming up but feeling a little rusty? Spend a few hours with one of our dive professionals who will inspect your gear for you, reacquaint you with gear assembly and care,  and go over the the most important scuba skills such as mask clearing, buoyancy control, and emergency procedures. The course is perfect for the vacationing once-a-year diver. Many divers take this class each year before their annual dive trip. All the gear you need is provided, however it is strongly recommended each diver own their own mask and fins. We have these available for sale if needed.

Note: Our partner, The Northern California Swimstitute is open for DIY drop-in scuba practice for certified divers every Tuesday and Friday from 7:30pm to 9pm. (Not a Sac City Scuba program) Cost $20 paid to pool.

Sac City Scuba has a special pool practice discount scuba rental package for this program at $50.

 

Are you too advanced for a pool refresher? Divers may skip the pool refresher and sign up directly for ocean/lake refresher dives if they think they are ready. This is ideal for people who have a lot of and recent warm water diving experience but would like to try some temperate California diving. See the cold water conversion/guided dives by clicking here.

 


 

Optional Add On: PADI ReActivate online course to refresh academic concepts. 

PADI ReActivate is an approximatly 3 hour online course and is an ideal add on for warm water divers who dive once or twice a year and have a trip coming up or perhaps have taken a few years off from diving. You will receive a new PADI C-card  with your "ReActivated" date on it. It is great for people who have lost their certification cards. ReActivate is a $85 add-on to option 1 above. (Now available to both PADI and non-PADI certification holders. Proof of prior certification required.)

Option 2: A full PADI Open Water Course audit.

Have only a few dives and/or haven't dived for several years? You may want to consider an audit of an entire PADI Open Water Course just as if you are a new student. Ideal for certified divers who have taken several years off of diving or had very few dives to begin with. You will join an Open Water Course and attend each pool and open water dive as if you were a new student including completing the PADI eLearning online academics program.

See our PADI Open Water Course page for dates and sign up for the class just as if you were a new student.

All refresher students: Please download and read the PADI Medical Waiver to determine if you need to have a doctor sign you off prior to participating in SCUBA activities.
