Diving requires special skills learned during training and maintained through practice. \u201cUse it or lose it\u201d is especially true in diving. While skills will degrade somewhat with as little six months of inactivity, most dive educators and instructors consider inactivity of one to two years sufficient to warrant refresher training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With longer periods, you\u2019ll want to consider how much you have changed and what changes have taken place in the diving world. After a long hiatus, we highly recommend formal review of both your knowledge and in-water skills before you resume diving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Practice Fundamentals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In your entry-level scuba course, you learned fundamental skills intended to promoted your safety and teach you how to deal with various problems that can arise during dives. To remain proficient in these skills, you must practice them. This is even more important if you are a relatively inexperienced diver.\u00a0Most instructors and training agencies recommend a refresher course after a year of not diving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Refresh In-Water Skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have been out of the water for a prolonged period, consider retaking the entry-level course. You never know what you may have forgotten or missed in your original course. When undertaking refresher training, DAN highly recommends both the classroom portion (which includes basic dive physics and physiology as well as dive planning and execution using dive tables and computers) and the in-water skills portion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
