If you got certified a long time ago or your last ocean or lake dive was more than a few years, there is no reason to take the scuba diver course again. There is no reason to be uncomfortable in the water. Refresh your skills in the pool or open water in a controlled setting. Any and all skills learned in the basic scuba diver course can be practiced and mastered.
This workshop is being offered by Upstate NY Divers as it was noticed that alot of diers who were not active in the past requested and were looking for quick and easy ways to renew or refresh their skills.
