SCUBA - Refresher Workshop
Details
Thu 16 Sep 2021 17:30 — 21:00
Event information
Registrations for this event are closed.
If you haven't dived in a while, can't remember how to put your gear together, or just can't quite remember what "RNT" means, perhaps you should sign up for a refresher workshop.
We will start with reviewing a bit of theory before gearing up and jumping in the pool to practice some skills practice. This is not a "course" and will not provide you with a certificate from any paticular agency, it's a workshop and we do it our own way depending on who's leading it. We strongly recommend that you back it up with an easy club dive afterwards.
The cost is $40.01 which includes pool entry and use of club BC, regulators and a cylinder of air. You will need to bring your own fins, mask, snorkel and swimmers. A wetsuit isn't really necessary as the pool is heated, but if you get cold easily and can put one on quickly then that's up to you.
Juniors: if your parent/guardian isn't participating too, they will still need to stay the whole time and watch.
Fees to be paid at time of registration to secure your spot
If you are borrowing club BC or regulator for the first time you will need to put down a refundable $65 deposit (to be paid in cash) with the loans team before you remove gear from the shed. Make sure you arrive at 5:30pm. There will be a lot of people trying to borrow gear on this day. Better yet, get your deposit sorted out the week before. See the Gear Hire page for more information.

Please read the event waiver with the terms and conditions. They are important!!! You'll also find links to the paperwork on that page... so if you say "I didn't get the forms" then what I'm hearing is "I didn't follow the instructions" ;)
Please answer the medical questionnaire (see link in waiver). If you answer 'Yes', you will not be able to participate without a medical clearance. It is recommended that you get a medical before participating in any scuba activities. Do this straight away, because if you need a medical it can take time to find a doctor who is available! It's not a last minute thing!
Download the attached knowledge review (see link in waiver), have a go at answering the questions and then check your answers. Bring these along with you and note any problems you had - we will have a quick chat before getting in the water, but you are expected to have done your homework! There will be no time to do it on the night and the primary aim of the workshop is to get you comfortable with your gear and being in the water.
NO PAPERWORK --> NO WORKSHOP PARTICIPATION!
Please read the event waiver. There's important stuff like rules about refunds and a link to the paperwork.
