One thing I remind parents be- fore they get in the water is that they are going to be responsible for another person, and I ask if they feel up for it. If the answer is no, consider a refresher course. Six to 12 months have elapsed since your last dive. One of the first quesons we ask someone who is coming in to dive is, When is the last me you were in the water?As for the answer, we suggest a refresher if you havent been diving in six months, a year, or longer. The thought of pung your gear together makes you nervous. If youre struggling to remember just how the gear fits together, keep in mind that the Divemaster can assist you — but it might also be me for a refresher course. You cant remember when your last dive was. If your last dive was more than a decade ago, you may need more than just a refresher course.

I ask them to esmate how many dives they had before they stopped. For some people, its been 15 years and they guess that they had maybe 10 dives before they stopped.Its always their choice, of course, but we recommend taking a full course at that point.

CAYMAN ISLAND DIVING

North Wall

The North Wall of Grand Cayman is a world class spectacular

sheer drop off boasting fabulous sponge and coral life as a

backdrop to the other reef residents. Commonly spotted in the

deep cobalt blue waters are eagle rays flying in ‘fighter jet’ for-

mation of up to seven animals. This is also the most likely loca-

tion to spot a shark and is home to a myriad of other critters in-

cluding turtles, lobster, eels, octopus and a vast variety of fish

from tiny to huge! Stare into the abyss below as you hover along

the side of the wall – you feel as though you are flying! As you

roll over and gaze upwards you will see the abundant reef fish

backlit by sunshine and silhouetted at the top of the precipice

awaiting your return to the shallows. Once you move up to the

top of the wall to complete your multi-level profile make sure to

check under ledges and coral heads for hiding animals – you

never know what you might find. As you hover at your safety

stop remember to keep looking down as the parade of wildlife

will continue to entertain you as you wait to return to gravity!

Most days on the North side you will dive the ‘top of the wall’ as

your second/shallow dive. This affords more opportunity to en-

counter large pelagics once again and enjoy the view of the

drop-off from the top. In addition there are some shallow reef

sites known for large turtles and lovely macro life. Expect to

move slowly and search for tiny animals like anemone shrimp,

decorator crabs and leopard flatworms to name a few! The slow-

er you cruise, the more little creatures will appear right before

your eyes!

TIME FOR A SCUBA REFRESHER COURSE?

Sure, you have a certification card, but

that doesn’t always mean you’re feel-

ing ready to dive. If it has been awhile

since your last dive, you may be in

need of a PADI ReActivate scuba re-

fresher program. Here are seven signs

to look for.

You can’t find your C-card.

Sure, someone from the dive center can call PADI® to confirm you’re

certified, but if you can’t find the card, that’s a sign that perhaps too

much time has passed since your last dive.

You finally have a vacation planned and you want to dive.

You could spend precious time at your destination catching up on

skills — or you could do that work with your hometown dive center.

It’s been a while since your last dive, and you will be diving with

your kids.

“A lot of times, we are dealing with families that got certified togeth-

er,” says Lyn Fishman, owner of Mid-Atlantic Scuba Center located in

Bensalem, PA, outside Philadelphia. “One thing I remind parents be-

fore they get in the water is that they are going to be responsible for

another person, and I ask if they feel up for it.”

If the answer is no, consider a refresher course.

Six to 12 months have elapsed since your last dive.

“One of the first questions we ask someone who is coming in to dive

is, “When is the last time you were in the water?” As for the answer,

we suggest a refresher if you haven’t been diving in six months, a

year, or longer.

The thought of putting your gear together makes you nervous.

If you’re struggling to remember just how the gear fits together, keep

in mind that the Divemaster can assist you — but it might also be time

for a refresher course.

You can’t remember when your last dive was.

If your last dive was more than a decade ago, you may need more

than just a refresher course.

REFRESHER COURSE CONTINUED

I start out by asking folks how long it’s been since their last dive.

“Then I ask about the time before they stopped diving. I ask them to

estimate how many dives they had before they stopped. For some

people, it’s been 15 years and they guess that they had maybe 10

dives before they stopped.” It’s always their choice, of course, but we

recommend taking a full course at that point. If you’re still unsure if

you need a scuba refresher, know that you always have the option of

hiring a private Divemaster to serve as a guide for you and/or your

buddy or family. But it’s a lot cheaper and times efficient to let us,

your local dive shop, take care of the refresher for you.

If you identify with any of the above, it might be time to call us and

schedule a Scuba Review/Refresher
