SCUBA REVIEW

Overview

If it has been over a year since your last dive, Scuba Review is the ideal refresher to rebuild confidence and sharpen essential skills before returning to regular diving. Designed for certified divers, this program blends theory, pool practice, and a guided sea dive in Albufeira.

🗺️ What to Expect

Your experience starts at EASYDIVERS in the Marina de Albufeira, where you check in and get set up for a structured, safety-first refresher. You will complete the standard international RTCW form and medical questionnaire, then join a theory session to revisit core diving fundamentals, correct equipment use, and key safety concepts.

Next, you move into the indoor pool for hands-on practice with a PADI instructor, focusing on the safety exercises you must successfully complete before heading to the ocean. Once you are ready, you will take a boat trip along the Algarve coast to a natural reef, where you will complete a sea dive up to 12 meters, guided closely by your instructor.
