REFRESHER COURSES
Getting back into diving...???
Has
it been a while since your last dive...??? Please be honest with yourself and your loved ones! If you haven't dove in over a year, a couple hours in the pool is NOT enough to bring you back to where you were before your hiatus.
There are businesses that will offer them however I cannot and will not recommend a pool refresher for anyone unless its been less than one year since your last dive. If it's been less than one year since your last dive, I recommend doing a refresher course at your dive destination. Need help finding a shop or instructor? Just ask. I'd love to help.
