Is jy ‘n gesertifiseerde skubaduiker maar jy het lank laas geduik? Jy kan miskien van die belangrike aspekte van skubaduik vergeet. Moenie bekommer nie, ons is hier om te help. Die PADI Verfrissingskursus is spesiaal met jou in gedagte ontwerp.

PADI verfrissingskursus vir skubaduik struktuur

Skedule

Ons kom in die oggend om 09:15 by die Into the Blue Duiksentrum in Kaapstad bymekaar. Deelnermers kan verwag om so ongeveer 16:00 klaar te wees.

Ons hardloop hierdie kursus sewe dae ‘n week van ons Kaapstad Skubaduik-sentrum af.

As daar enige ander vaardighede is wat jy graag wil verfris, sal ons jou graag help.

Teorie

Die eerste ding wat ons doen is om die teorie vinnig weer te hersien. Dit word meestal in die vorm van ‘n vasvra (“quiz”) gedoen. Daar is ook tyd vir vrae en antwoorde voordat ons regtig gaan skubaduik!

Duik in die swembad

Wanneer ons klaar is met die teorie, klim ons in die swembad. Hier gaan ons deur dieselfde vaardighede as wat jy gedoen het vir jou Oopwaterkursus. Jy sal verbaas wees oor hoe vinnig jy weer alles onthou! Veiligheid is die sleutel in skubaduik, so ons sal jou weer leer om jou toerusting na te gaan langs die swembad.

As daar enige spesifieke vaardigheid is wat jy voel jy ekstra hulp mee nodig het, sal ons soveel tyd aan hierdie vaardigheid spandeer as wat jy nodig het.

Opsionele Kaapstad see - duik

Terug na die regte pret – duik in die see! Hierdie gedeelte van die dag is opsioneel, maar is die meeste pret vir ons verfrissingsstudente. Jy het nou die opsie om een van ons vele pretduike te doen om jou nuutgevonde vaardighede te oefen. Dit kan in die vorm wees van ‘n natuur-, rob-, wrak- of haaiduik (dit sluit hokduik saam met Witdoodshaaie uit) rondom Kaapstad.

PADI verfrissingskursus vir skubaduik kaapstad - gereelde vrae

1. Hoekom het ek ‘n verfrisser nodig?

As jy vir ongeveer ses maande nie geduik het nie, of bietjie geroes voel, stel ons voor dat jy ‘n verfrissingskursus doen. Dit sal jou ervaring baie bevorder as jy dan voortgaan om in die see te duik, en jy sal baie meer gemaklik voel onder die water. Soos met enigiets met duik, moet jy eerder aan die veilige kant bly as jy onseker voel.

2. Wat moet ek saambring?

Jy moet jou handdoek, swemklere, sonbrandroom en ‘n versnappering saambring.

3. Kan ek ‘n verfrissingskursus doen as ek ‘n PADI Ontdek Skuba-ervaring gedoen het?

Jy kan nie die verfrissingskursus doen as jy net ‘n PADI Ontdek Skuba-ervaring gedoen het nie. Ons stel voor dat jy nog ‘n PADI Ontdek Skuba-ervaring doen of as jou tyd beperk is, dat jy ‘n PADI Oopwaterkursus doen en ‘n gesertifiseerde duiker word.

 

 

Wat het ander gesê oor in die blou Duik Sentrum?

“Top marks for safety and professionalism”....

The reason for giving five stars is not because my dive day was good - it was horrible, a complete washout, no viz, unpleasant swell, just all round yucky conditions.

However, that's nature, and dive operators can do nothing about it. What all dive operators should do is be as professional and customer-focused as the guys from ITB diving.

First thing to note is that ITB is considerably cheaper (by almost 1000.- Rand) than Simonstown operators, which is baffling considering that they also have the transport cost from Cape Town to budget for.

DMs, Instructors and Shopfloor staff are all super friendly and helpful; I even got picked up from my Cape Town digs and dropped off afterwards, free of charge.

On the boat, I saw all the emergency and redundancy gear I like to see: twin engines (VERY important!), Oxygen, comms gear, flares, the lot. Briefings were thorough, and buddy check was insisted on.

The trip to Seal Rock in the RIB was fun in the swell, but when we got there the captain did not let us dive because of the unsafe conditions. Disappointing as this was, he was totally right. Low tide and heavy swells are a dangerous combination this close to the rocks, and as for trying to get back into a RIB in seas like this....
We then tried the PMB wreck, where zero viz and nasty vertical swell separated the group and forced us out of the water after 25 minutes.

The captain did offer to try another spot but was honest enough to tell us that in his opinion it was going to be rubbish everywhere, and so we called it a day.

Back at the dive shop, we were all offered a re-schedule, but as I'm out of time I was given half my money back. I know from experience that this is not the norm in the industry, sadly.

Into the Blue is a top notch outfit that does things by the book, with a strong safety focus and very customer centered, on top of offering reasonable pricing and a fair refund policy. You'll have a hard time to find a better operator anywhere around. They'll definitely be my first choice when I pass through next, and for doing my IDC sometime this year.

Just hope mother nature will be in better mood then.
