Do you require a check-out dive?  

We recommend a refresher course for any diver that’s been out of the water for 18 months or more.  However, we usually dive at Palancar Gardens for a first dive with divers with whom we are not familiar.  This site has a sandy area at a depth of 30 to 40 feet which is a great place for divers to re-familiarize themselves with their equipment and skills.  This is also part of the reason why we often dive with our divers in addition to our Divemaster…to keep an eye on the less experienced divers for their safety, but to also ensure that the experienced divers are not affected.
