The PADI
Scuba Review Course
Has it been a while since you’ve been scuba
diving? Do you feel like your scuba skills and
knowledge are a bit rusty? The Scuba Review
Tune-up is just the refresher you need. It reacquaints
you with diving so that you're back to feeling
comfortable in the underwater world in less
than a day.
The Fun
Part
Brush up on your scuba knowledge and skills.
Improve your diving ability, and get your scuba
gear ready for your next scuba vacation or diving
holiday.
What You
Learn
You go over scuba knowledge you learned during
your initial training. Then, practice fundamental
skills in a pool or a confined water area. You
review:
• Safe diving practices
• Dive planning fundamentals
• Problem management
• Breathing air at depth
• Recreational diving and dive tables: basic
knowledge
• Recreational diving and dive tables: dive
planning
After you complete the knowledge assessment,
you go through the Confined Water Skills Preview.
You review information about each skill, why
it’s important, points to remember when performing
the skill and a short video clip. Completing
this section just before practicing is a great
way to refresh your knowledge of how each
skill is performed.
The Scuba Review course is particularly beneficial
if you:
• Are a PADI Open Water Diver course referral
student who wants a refresher prior to making
your open water training dives
• Are a PADI Scuba Diver who wants to upgrade
to Open Water Diver
• Just haven’t scuba dived in a while and want
to get aclimated again
The Scuba Gear You Use
You use all the basic scuba gear that includes a BCD, Regulator, First stage, mask, fins and weight belt.
The Learning
Materials You Need
Quickly and effectively review scuba diving
fundamentals with PADI’s Scuba Tune-Up Guidebook.
Begin by answering a few questions related to
dive safety, problem management and dive planning.
For example:
What are the five steps in a pre-dive safety
check?
What is the maximum depth limit for all recreational
diving?
What are the signs and symptoms of decompression
sickness?
At 12meters/ 40 feet a diver runs out of
air. Her buddy is more than 60 feet away,
what should she do?
Correct answers will allow you to complete
the book quickly. For incorrect answers, you’ll
read a brief explanation to help you understand
the concept.
