We offer a 2-night scuba skills review. We meet in the classroom one evening to fill out the required paper work, go over some basic scuba principles and practice with the dive tables - to help everyone remember how to use them (please bring your own tables, if you have a copy). Then we get to spend one evening in the new pool or, if during our warmer season, the lake, where we will set up skills practice so you can play and practice your dive skills. The idea is to offer a night where you can test out your equipment and get used to being back in the water again. Rental equipment available for those who need it.
