Ocean Refresher in Playa del Carmen

Are you a certified diver who hasn’t been underwater in a while? Our scuba refresher helps you ease back into diving before heading out to explore the reefs of Playa del Carmen.

With your instructor, you’ll review everything that matters: the equipment, breathing, mask clearing, regulator recovery, buoyancy and finning. Then you head out to sea for 2 reef dives, among tropical fish, sea turtles and rays.
