SSI SCUBA Refresher in Thailand – With Crystal Dive
Life gets busy, and sometimes it’s been a while since your last dive.
If you’re SCUBA diving after a break, our friendly SCUBA review is the perfect way to refresh your skills and rebuild confidence before your next ocean dive..
It only takes a few hours and can be done in our custom training pool or, on request, in one of Koh Tao’s calm, shallow bays.
Haven’t Dived in a While? No Worries.
Once you’re refreshed, you’ll dive with better air efficiency, more control, and a refreshed state of mind, making you fully ready for your next fun diving trip!
The quick SSI SCUBA Refresher session covers essential safety skills, buoyancy control, and trim
*To meet insurance requirements, most certified divers with fewer than 60 logged dives will need proof of a dive in the last 6 months or will need to take a refresher session before heading out.*

Part 1: Quick Theory Review
The theory part of the SCUBA review is short, simple, and stress-free. You’ll go through a quick questionnaire to refresh key safety procedures and dive planning basics. We’ll also cover how to safely use your dive computer since you’ll be using it on all your dives with us (and yes, it’s free!).
Part 2: Pool Practice Session
Now it’s time to gear up and get back into the water. We’ll start by fitting you with your personal equipment set, then move into a hands-on session that brings your core skills back up to speed. Before diving in, we’ll review equipment setup and pre-dive checks.
In the water, we’ll focus on the skills that matter most (especially buoyancy control), where common procedures can change over time and with different environments. We’ll cover:
- Entries and exits
- Regulator recovery and free-flow breathing
- Mask removal, replacement, and swimming without a mask
- Out-of-air drills, alternate air source use, controlled ascents
- Fin pivots, hovering, and buoyancy/trim tuning
- Equipment removal (surface and underwater), plus emergency weight drop
Want to focus on something specific? Just let us know — we’ll tailor the SCUBA Refresher session to what you feel you need most.
