SSI Refresher course, Is there such a thing?

[Duvivr6]

Well here is my story,


Originally I'm from Puerto Rico got certified back in 2001, later moved to oklahoma in 06 and havent been anywhere near a good dive spot!

Fast forward moving to Key west next month, so I'm back in the game trying to see if there is anything I would need to do to get back in the water!

tried searching the board and the SSI site didnt see anyhting like it? any help will be apreciated!

Thanks
Duvi

It's called "SCUBA Skills Update" and any SSI shop would be happy to do it with you.

FWIW, if you find you want some extra practice, the shop would probably be happy to let you stop by for an extra pool session or two.

Nice have you been there before and have a good idea of the lay of the land? I am trying to convince my wife to move back there she loved it when we visited.

I've visited once for a few day and really don't remember anything! I am deployed right now and my wife is doing the house buying

You are in for a fun time and you are definately looking at the right time. EYW has a lot on the market and the prices have fallen tremendously. Some other things about key west, they just sank the vandenberg last year, also make friends with boats so you can dive when and where you want, also there is usually a group of people that will go out for sunday fundays on there boats. If you have your own boat awsome, make friends with people that work on the boats and have them show you around

Do u have to be certified through SSI to take the Update course. I am certified through NAUI and was traveling to Myrtle Beach in July. The local shop there (NU Horizon) is SSI with a NAUI instructor also. Do you think this would be a problem because as far as I can see SSI is the only organization that offers such a course?
