If you have had an extended time away from scuba diving and want to get back under water I would recommend that you do a Scuba review / refresher. An extended time would be 6 months or longer. With the latest busy lifestyles its amazing how quickly we can forget the basics. As a divemaster [...]

I have done most watersports (wake boarding, surfing, wind surfing, swimming, snorkeling and spearfishing) and I have always wanted to learn to dive.
