When should I get my scuba diving certification refreshed or how often to do a scuba refresher are common questions asked. It depends on your scuba diving training organization, what their standards are on how often you should do a scuba diving refresher course. This can be 6 months, 12 months, or even longer after your last scuba dive. In the end, it is about your safety, so why not be safe and do a scuba refresher course often.
How much does a scuba refresher course cost?
This depends on the location and the Dive shop, but in general, it is between 20 to 100 USD around the world.
The scuba refresher course is really valuable.
What skills are required for a scuba refresher course?
This also depends on your scuba training organization. Some organizations want you to repeat a strict amount of scuba skills during your refresher course while others are less strict and let you choose what scuba skills you would like to practice/repeat during your scuba diving refresher course. In this youtube video do I covered most scuba skills that you might encounter in your scuba refresher course.
Should I refresh myself in confined water (swimming pool) or open water?
I recommend refreshing yourself first in confined water and if needed ask a Divemaster or Diving Instructor to refresh your scuba skills also in the open water. When you feel comfortable enough you can sign up for a fun dive again or continue your scuba diving education by joining the next course. For example, a lot of people only do the first open water diver course and then might need a scuba refresher course before they join the second advanced open water diver course.
