How the Scuba Refresher works
Two steps on the same day: rebuild your confidence in calm water, then dive.
The refresher is built for certified divers who have been out of the water for 6 months or more. Komodo's currents reward good buoyancy and calm reactions, so we review the skills that matter before your first ocean dive.
It is not a certification course: you keep your existing PADI or equivalent certification. Tell us when booking how long it has been since your last dive and your instructor will adapt the review.

FAQ — Scuba Refresher in Komodo
Do I need a refresher before diving Komodo?

What skills do we practise?
Equipment set-up and checks, mask clearing, regulator recovery, buoyancy control and hovering, and air-sharing and emergency procedures. Your instructor adapts the session to what you need.
How long does the refresher take?
One day: a theory refresher and skills review in calm, shallow water in the morning, then 3 guided dives in Komodo National Park, back at the resort in the afternoon.
What's included in the price?
The theory refresher, the skills review with a PADI Instructor, 3 guided dives, full equipment, tanks and weights, Komodo National Park fees, and lunch and snacks on board. Accommodation, dive insurance, airport transfers and other meals are not included.
Are Komodo National Park fees included?
Yes. Komodo National Park fees for the dive day are included in the published price. We collect the required participant information and arrange registration before departure.
