If it has been a while since you obtained your dive certification / did your last dives, and you are feeling a little nervous about diving again, then a refresher course is highly recommended to put you at ease. A number of Cairns dive operators provide refresher courses, ranging from one hour to two days, depending on your requirements.
To participate in a refresher course, you need to already be a certified diver and you will need to have a copy of your license with you.
Do you need a refresher course?
Is really a question about making the most of your trip to The Great Barrier Reef. Please note that all trips will take you through a complete safety briefing which includes how to use all the dive equipment (if you are using their equipment) including how to use the provided dive computer. They will also take you through signals, safety procedures as well as what marine life you may see. At each dive location they will give you a site briefing either pointing out the features or by showing you on a dive map so you know what to expect.
If it is less than 5 years since you have been diving and you feel comfortable about going out diving then I would suggest no you don’t need a refresher course.
If you feel a little nervous as you have forgotten some of the skills you learnt when you did your course or it has been 5 years or more since your last dive then I would recommend doing one. Your Instructor will take you through all the equipment and skills that are part of diving so that you feel comfortable on your day of travel.
