It is easy for dive skills to get rusty and to lose confidence when you have not dived for a while. With the SSI Scuba Skills Update, we will get you back in the water and diving with ease in no time. This 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. This is a great course to take just before a dive holiday, so you spend less time worrying about your skills and more time admiring the marine life. If you are a non-certified Open Water Diver student, a Scuba Skills Update is ideal for practicing your dive skills before your open water training dives. With no fixed course duration, you can take your time and focus on the skills you need help with.

What is Nitrox? Nitrox is a mix of Nitrogen and Oxygen gas with a higher concentration of Oxygen than standard air. Contrary to popular belief nitrox does not let you dive deeper. It is designed to let the diver stay longer at depth, maintain shorter surface intervals, and create a larger safety factor than standard air. Who should take this course? All SCUBA divers benefit from diving with Nitrox, not just advanced divers. If you are planning on multiple dives in one day or diving multiple days, Nitrox will be a benefit. Most people also say they feel better and more energized after diving on Nitrox too.
