If you haven't been diving for more than a year we always advise to do a „Refresher dive“ which consists of a short dive from the coast with a dive guide. During this session, we go through two basic exercises (regulator recovery and mask clearing) as well as an unavoidable check of the weight that is necessary to be carried out to ensure that the buoyancy for the next dive is perfect. All this is done so that your next boat dive can be enjoyable and stress free.
