SDI Refresher Course At Saguaro Scuba
Saguaro Scuba’s SDI Refresher Course is designed for certified divers who wish to update their diving skills. It is recommended (and in some places, required) to take a refresher course if it has been longer than 1 year since their last logged dive. This course ensures that divers regain comfort and confidence in their abilities, making their return to diving safe and enjoyable.
Certification Components:
eLearning: The first component of the SDI Refresher Course at Saguaro Scuba is an online class. Students should expect to spend 4-6 hours and must pass a final exam before any in-person learning.
Orientation/Pool Dives: Students will review materials from the online training, and practice to demonstrate mastery of required skills in the pool.
To sign up for a class, simply complete the purchase online. One of the Saguaro Scuba staff will reach out to help you register for eLearning, confirm in-person class dates, and review necessary equipment.
Note: The training provided in this package fulfills the essential requirements for certification. If extra training is desired, sessions can be arranged at $110 each.
What Does The SDI Refresher Course Cover
In Saguaro Scuba’s SDI Refresher Course, divers revisit crucial skills including planning dives, mastering equalization techniques, underwater communication, and managing lung over-expansion issues. The course covers a review of dive computers, scuba system assembly, weight adjustment, mask defogging, and donning scuba gear. Participants practice controlled descents, regulator and mask clearing, buoyancy control, and engage in an underwater tour. Key components also include controlled ascents using computers, exit procedures, scuba system disassembly, logging dives, and air sharing ascents along with handling underwater emergencies.
Please note: Students must provide their own gear with the exception of a weight bag and tank(s). Gear can be purchased or rented at an additional cost.
Prerequisites for SDI Refresher Course:
- Proof of an SDI Open Water Scuba Diver or SDI Junior Open Water Scuba Diver Certification from a recognized dive training organization

Event Details
The pool segment of your Open Water training is scheduled as a one day event. Students and Instructors will meet at Saguaro Diving, generally at 8am, and start the day with SCUBA gear assignment and set-up. The student is responsible for having their personal gear; mask, fins, dive boots and snorkel; prior to this day of training. From the shop we will head out to a designated Mesa Parks & Rec pool for a day of training and fun. Before donning SCUBA gear there is a swim evaluation; 200 yards, any stroke, and a 10 minute float/tread; as required by the certifying agency, PADI/SDI. It is during your water time that the required skills are accomplished to make you a safe diver. Later, during your Open Water certification dives, you will be evaluated on some of the skills that you learned in the pool. Because PADI/SDI training is standardized the student will accomplish the same skills/be evaluated on specific skills no matter where the training is conducted. Although you will not need your educational materials for this session, please pack a picnic style lunch, beverages, a bathing suit & towel, and sunscreen, along with your personal gear. Let’s get wet and make some bubbles!
