Frequently asked questions
When do I need this?
Anytime you've been out of the water 6+ months. Many liveaboards make this mandatory at 12 months. After 24 months out, even some day-dive operators ask.
Will I dive in the ocean during this?
No — Skills Update is pool-only by design. Once complete, you can immediately book regular Fun Dives at any SSI centre.
Prerequisite?
Any prior scuba certification (SSI, PADI, NAUI). Age 10+.
How long is the update valid?
It's logged on your SSI profile permanently. After 12 more months, an operator may ask you to refresh again — common practice.
What if I struggle with skills?
Your instructor will spend extra time on whatever's rusty. There's no pass/fail — Skills Update is about returning you to confidence.
Will my old PADI/NAUI cert qualify me?
Yes — Skills Update accepts any recognised entry-level cert. The refresh is added to your SSI profile, but your original cert stays valid.
