How long is it since you dived?

Came back from Curacao last weekend. Now I'm waiting for the last of the ice to clear.

As for refresher courses I'd have to say yes, after 6 months without diving it should be required.

6 months? There are people who have been diving for years and are completely comfortable underwater but only get to go once a year on vacation. I think that 6 months is a little strict unless the diver is brand new.

Im not sure but i could swear i was told when i took my OW that if it has been more then a year you should do the refresher

last dive was Sunday in Key Largo

As far as the refresher goes, if you think you need one take it, if you feel completely comfortable getting back into diving then do a couple easy dives first before testing your skills again.

Bob- is that a starfish on the left of the photo? I would have thought that would be lunch?

It is a starfish ... never seen an octo eat a starfish, they usually prefer crabs. In fact, the most common way to find an octo den is to look for the crab shells.
