Review, Refresh & Update Your Skills and Knowledge

Are you getting ready for a cool trip to the islands?  Has it been quite some time since you last blew bubbles and you’re feeling a bit rusty?  No problem.  Our Scuba Skills Update provides the perfect opportunity to review and practice important skills you learned in your Open Water Diver program, while under the guidance of an A-1 diving professional.

Included with your fee are the SSI online digital manual and recognition card.  The online digital materials are yours for life and will always be updated for free.  Though not required your online digital manual provides a great way to refresh your diving knowledge before your diving excursion.  Upon completion of your update, you will be issued a digital SSI Scuba Skills Update recognition card.  This is a perfect tool to show the dive guide at the resort you’re ready to dive.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Your current diving certification does not expire!
