Reignite your confidence under the surface with a tightly paced, instructor-led refresher in Fremantle. Over two hours a Divemaster walks you through dive theory and equipment set‑up before you head out for a local shore dive to practice core skills and refine buoyancy — an efficient way for divers who’ve been out of the water six months to two years to get back in the rhythm.

THE INSTRUCTION

Divemaster-led review

The course begins with direct guidance from a Divemaster who leads a concise review of dive theory and walks you through equipment set up so you’re ready for the water.

THE DIVE

Local shore dive and buoyancy work

After the briefing and gear checks you join a local shore dive focused on practicing essential skills and improving buoyancy control in real conditions.

THE FOCUS

Quick, targeted refresh

Designed as a compact, practical session, the 2‑hour format concentrates on the fundamentals a returning diver needs to feel comfortable back in the water.

What the day feels like

What the two hours feel like

The session moves fast: a short theory review and hands‑on equipment set up with a Divemaster, then a shore entry where you'll run through basic skills and work on buoyancy under guided supervision — all tailored to get you back diving confidently.

1
Lapsed recreational diversWell suited to divers who haven’t dived for six months to two years and want a quick, supervised return to the water.
2
Teens and adults (14+)Open to participants aged 14 and older, making it appropriate for both younger and adult returning divers.
3
Divers needing buoyancy polishA focused shore dive provides practical buoyancy work — ideal if your priority is refreshing core skills rather than a full requalification.
