refresh your diving skills

Not been diving for a while? No worries! We offer free of charge refreshers on the boat which are incorporated into your first dive with us to get you feeling comfortable with everything again.

If it's been a long time since your last dive, or you feel that you will benefit from a calmer environment, or just to be able to spend a bit more time getting reacquainted with everything, we can offer a pool refresher the afternoon your dive trip with us starts.

why choose scuba junkie?

As always with Scuba Junkie, safety is our top priority. Our group ratio here in Nusa Penida is 4 divers per guide. All of our guides are PADI Divemasters or Instructors and we usually group our refreshers separately from other fun divers. This is so that you can get the full attention of your guide, and this often means that you’ll be one-on-one with your guide for the day!
We are the only dive centre on Penida to guarantee 3 dives each day, giving you the maximum number of dives in your experience.

Our equipment is new and well maintained and we include the full set of all required equipment and materials in the course and package rates.
Our custom built dive boats have all of the safety equipment we may ever need and you will cruise to the dive sites in speed and style.

why dive nusa penida?

Diving around Nusa Penida is incredibly diverse – After your skills you can be diving with manta rays, looking for the sought-after molas (sunfish) or drifting along our famous reefs. Many of our dive sites are suitable for refreshers with sheltered areas and mooring lines so that you can descent with control.

let's go!

what skills will i do?

During your refresher you’ll cover the following:
On the surface: Equipment set-up, pre-dive safety check (BWRAF), deep water entry.
Underwater: regulator recovery & clearing, mask clearing, alternate air source use and buoyancy skills.
After the dive: Disassembly & washing. During the logbooks session you’ll also note down that you did a refresher along with the type of suit and how many weights you used for future reference.
These skills can be demonstrated for you by your guide beforehand, depending in your comfort level. We will also conduct a weight & trim check with you and assist you with getting back to blowing bubbles comfortably again. You will of course get a full dive briefing which covers all of the standard information about the dive site, signals, air check, safety stop and any emergency procedures.

HOW DOES IT FIT IN WITH MY DIVING DAY?

The boat refresher doesn’t need add on any extra time to your day – There’s no need to come in at a separate time before the diving day or to go for a separate dive. We’ll give you a thorough skills briefing on the boat on the way to or at the dive site. The skills will be conducted in an appropriate, sheltered area of the dive site of your first dive with us. Once the skills are finished you'll be able to swim right along and start enjoying the marine life without any time delays! After the dive your guide will go over any reminders for you and give you feedback while you cruise to the next dive site and enjoy some refreshments.

The pool refresher option would be scheduled the day before your boat diving starts at 2:30pm so that you can back roll straight into the dive sites with confidence.
