Our refresher day helps certified divers get back into the water with confidence and enjoyment after a break. A full day with theory, exercises, and two relaxed guided dives.
Haven’t been diving for a while and want to do it the right way? During our Refresher Day at Porto Mari, we take plenty of time to refresh your diving skills in a personal, safe, and modern manner.
We start the day with a review of the most important theory through an easy-going quiz. This helps you refresh your knowledge and allows us to address specific questions or points of attention. Next, we enter the water for four essential exercises in shallow, sheltered water, so you can fully regain confidence with your equipment, procedures, and basic skills.
After that, we make two guided dives on the house reef of Porto Mari, to a maximum depth of 18 meters. During these dives, we pay extra attention to your comfort, buoyancy, and relaxation. The pace is completely tailored to your level and wishes, and if desired, additional exercises can be repeated.
During the Refresher Day, you will dive with modern equipment according to current standards, including the use of a dive computer and integrated weights instead of traditional weight belts. This way, you’ll immediately experience how comfortable and efficient modern recreational diving can be.
This Refresher Day is ideal for certified divers who want to restore their confidence, refine their skills, and fully enjoy the underwater world of Curaçao again—without rush and with maximum guidance.
Would you like to take it even further or continue building your diving skills? Then this Refresher Day is the perfect stepping stone to a Perfect Buoyancy Specialty, the SSI Advanced Open Water Diver course, or one of our other specialty courses.
