PADI Refresher
Red Sail Sports refresher is perfect if you would like to refresh your skills or haven’t been diving for over two years.
Introduction to the Course
Red Sail Sports refresher is perfect if you would like to refresh your skills or haven’t been diving for over two years. Please note that if you have not been diving within the last two years, a refresher course is required.
As Scuba Diving is a technical sport with ever changing procedures and equipment, it can be easy to forget basic SCUBA skills. This course will reacquaint you with diving so that you’re back to feeling comfortable in the underwater world in less than a day, re-familiarizing you with safe dive practices, dive planning, equipment and computer use.
Course Details
The morning will start with a basic dive theory session to review safety procedures, buoyancy control and emergency situations.
We will then get you up to date with the dive equipment you will be using before jumping into the pool to practice skills such as mask clearing & out of air procedures.
You’ll then join the afternoon boat to complete a shallow dive. You will be accompanied by an instructor who will ease you back into diving and guide you around a beautiful shallow reef.
We recommend a Refresher course if you completed your Open Water course more than a year ago and have not dived since.
Upon successful completion of your Refresher Course you are more than welcome to join us on any of our other dives – such as 2-tank West Wall, the Kittiwake and North Wall. If you are looking to dive for multiple days during your Cayman vacation, have a look at our

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to dive in Grand Cayman?
The beauty of diving in Grand Cayman is that we can dive year-round!
Whilst we don’t typically have ‘seasons’ as such, there are variations in the weather dependent on the time of year you visit. Generally the West side has the calmest waters with winds coming predominantly from the East, but we can offer dives from the North, West, East, South, the Ex-USS Kittiwake & Stingray City.
What is the water temperature in Grand Cayman? Do I need a wetsuit?
December, January & February typically have stronger winds, with slightly ‘cooler’ water temperatures – around 80ºF. The waters start to warm up again after this and the hottest months are July, August,& September – when the water can reach up to 86ºF! Most people are comfortable with no wetsuit, or a 3mm shorty (available to rent if required).
I haven’t dived for a few years. Should I take a refresher class?
Yes. For your safety and enjoyment during your dive activities, Red Sail Sports refresher policy is as follows:
Last dive was over 1 year ago – Refresher Course recommended.
Last dive was 2-5 years ago – Red Sail Refresher Course required.
Last dive was 6+ years ago – Full PADI Scuba Tune Up Course required.
You are more than welcome to complete a refresher class prior to arriving in Grand Cayman and take part in a shallow dive before a wall dive.
If you have any further questions about our refresher course policy then please call toll free 1-877-506-6368 or email and our representatives will be happy to assist.
Which dive certification cards do you accept?
All certified divers are required to present a Certification card upon check-in. Red Sail Sports accepts the following certification cards, among others: PADI, SSI (NASDS), NAUI, IDEA, PDIC, SDI, YMCA & HSA.
I forgot to bring my certification card with me, will I still be able to dive?
Proof of dive certification is required to dive with Red Sail Sports. Many of the larger dive agencies (PADI, NAUI, SSI) have an online system to look up divers, so if you have forgotten your certification card we should be able to find you if you are certified with one of these agencies. If not then we recommend that you contact your certifying agency prior to arrival on island.
