Refresher Dive

$379.00

Our refresher day trip is a great way to get back into diving under the supervision of our amazing instructors. This is a 2 reef dive day trip out in the Bay of Islands. On the first dive we go through setting up your equipment, buddy checks, entry techniques, buoyancy checks, ascent/descent procedures, buoyancy control and trim while diving, and we cover the basic skill to keep you safe while diving.

On the 2nd dive you join a guided group and practice your buddy system procedures while exploring on of the awesome reef sites in Deep Water Cove marine reserve.

Refresher Dive Day

We start the dive day at 7:45am at our dive shop on Williams rd. We organize equipment and paper work, then load the boat on Paihia wharf for a 8:30am departure. On the way out to the dive site we cruise through the islands and often see Dolphins, Penguins, Seals and marine bird life. It takes approximately 30 minutes on Sentinel to get to Deep Water Cove. First up is normally the wreck dive, While they are diving we set up gear and brief up for the first of our refresher dives.

After lunch we then head to another of the many great reef dive sites in the Bay of Islands. This is normally a dive exploring caves, arches, or swim throughs. Deep Water Cove is a marine reserve, so the marine life in this area is incredible.

Once all the diving is done we cruise back though the islands to Paihia, arriving at the wharf around 3:30pm. Arrival at Paihia can vary depending on how busy the boat is and if customers require to be back for a bus. If you are catching a bus in the afternoon, please let us know!
