Package Overview
Back in the water with confidence
Haven't been scuba diving for six months or more? Skills fade quickly when you are out of the water, and the Refresher Course is the simplest way to get them back before you explore the dive sites of Malapascua. It is a short, guided session for certified divers who want to feel safe, relaxed and in control again before diving in the Philippines.
What you will review
With a dive professional by your side, you go back over the core safety skills every diver relies on: buoyancy control, basic equipment checks and assembly, calm controlled breathing, and the emergency procedures you learned during your certification. We start with a safety briefing, then put those skills into practice in the water at an easy, unhurried pace.
Your guided local dive
Once your skills feel natural again, you finish with one guided local dive around Malapascua Island. It is a gentle way to settle back into diving, enjoy the reef, and get used to your equipment again before you book more dives with us.
Who it is for
Certified divers holding an Open Water certification or higher who have not dived for six months or more, divers who feel nervous after a long break, and anyone who wants to brush up before a dive holiday in Cebu. If you are not certified yet, our Discovery Scuba Dive is the right place to start.
Planning the thresher shark dives?
Malapascua is famous for thresher shark diving at Kimud Shoal, an early morning dive for Advanced Open Water divers and above. If it has been a while since your last dive, a refresher first is a smart way to arrive at the shoal comfortable and ready.
