Scuba Skill Update - 23rd June 2026

Need to practice your skills before your open water training dives?

It is easy for dive skills to get rusty and to lose confidence when you have not dived for a while. With our SSI Scuba Skills Update, we will get you back in the water and diving with ease in no time.

Our scuba refresher course allows you to review and practice scuba skills you learned in your Open Water Diver program, under the guidance of an SSI Professional in our swimming pool session on a Tuesday evening.
