How to Do a Scuba Review at Chang Diving – Step by Step (2025, Koh Chang)

What’s This Dive About?

Haven’t been diving for a while? Our Scuba Review is the ideal way to refresh your skills and regain confidence before your next underwater adventure. This one-day refresher includes theory, skill practice, and two dives with an instructor – safe, relaxed, and tailored for certified divers.

✅ Recommended: If you haven’t been diving for 12 months or longer, we strongly recommend joining a Scuba Review before your next fun dive or course.

Who Can Join?

Certified divers (Open Water or higher, any agency)
Minimum age: 10 years
Basic swimming ability & reasonable fitness

What’s the Plan & What Will You Practice?

🧠 Refresher theory session on the boat
🤿 Dive 1: Skills & buoyancy review with instructor
🐠 Dive 2: You decide – either a fun dive or continue skill review
✅ Safety, emergency & equipment handling drills

The CDC Fresh-up is a non-certification program designed to help you regain confidence and comfort. If you prefer an updated certification card, you can choose the PADI ReActivate or SDI Scuba Review instead – both include the same practical and theoretical content but come with an official digital certification update.
