Refresher dives
We conduct refresher dives at Pulau Pandan, an easy, shallow dive site just 5 mins from Bigfin Divers. We will refresh basic skills, and give you the opportunity to ask our dive instructors any questions and scratch up on dive details you might have forgotten. If you require a refresher dive please do let us know in advance. Please book in for a refresher dive the day before joining our fun dive trip. We conduct refresher dives at 2pm in the afternoon.
