A quick refresher course before your next big adventure.

The Fun Part

Brush up on your scuba knowledge and skills. Improve your diving ability, and get your scuba gear ready for your next scuba vacation or diving holiday.
 

What You Learn

You go over scuba knowledge you learned during your initial training. Then, practice fundamental skills in a pool or a confined water area.

You review:

• Safe diving practices

• Dive planning fundamentals

• Problem management

• Breathing air at depth

• Recreational diving and dive tables: basic knowledge

• Recreational diving and dive tables: dive planning

After you complete the knowledge assessment, you go through the Confined Water Skills Preview. You review information about each skill, why it’s important, points to remember when performing the skill. Completing this section just before practicing is a great way to refresh your knowledge of how each skill is performed.

The Scuba Review course is particularly beneficial if you:

Are a PADI Open Water Diver course referral student who wants a refresher prior to making your open water training dives

Are a PADI Scuba Diver who wants to upgrade to Open Water Diver

Just haven’t scuba dived in a while and want to get acclimated again 

The Scuba Gear You Use

You use all the basic scuba gear. 

The Learning Materials You Need

Quickly and effectively review scuba diving fundamentals with PADI’s Scuba Tune-Up Guidebook. Begin by answering a few questions related to dive safety, problem management and dive planning.

For example:

• What are the five steps in a pre-dive safety check?

• What is the maximum depth limit for all recreational diving?

• What are the signs and symptoms of decompression sickness?

• At 12meters/ 40 feet a diver runs out of air. Her buddy is more than 60 feet away, what should she do?

Correct answers will allow you to complete the book quickly. For incorrect answers, you’ll read a brief explanation to help you understand the concept.

Q: My summer schedule is booked! When can I take a class?

A: We dive year round! Thanks to Dry Suits, you’ll be surprised how manageable the cold is.

Q: Can I buy food close by?

A: Large events may include snacks, if you have special dietary requirements please pack a lunch. There is a shop close to the dive sites with typical convenience store food.

Q: Do I need to pay for Parking?

A: State Parks in Arkansas require a $5 day pass (paid at the entrance) to help keep our parks beautiful, clean, and provide bathrooms. It is a small price to pay. (Please bring cash for the pass)

Q: Can I bring my own equipment?

A: Yes absolutely, using your own equipment whenever possible will let you feel more comfortable in the water without having to learn a new setup each time. Please bringing older equipment to our shop first to have it checked and serviced before your dive, this will ensure it is in good working condition so you don’t miss the dive.

Q: How much time should I allow?

A: Class times are usually on a week day in the evening around 6pm for 1-2 hours. Pool dives also on a weekday evening for 1-2 hours. Open water dives will be on Saturday and Sunday, travel time is about 2 hours. We will meet at the site dive, do portions of the course on land and in water and come home. On these days you’ll need to plan 6 hours or longer depending on size of class and how quickly we get through the material.

Q: What do I do if I have more questions?

A: Call us, we would be happy to talk through any questions or concerns.

During the open water lake portion of our dives we typically dive at Beaver Lake, please stay in contact with your instructor in case something changes.

Now that you’re Open Water Certified, you’ve got so many options!
