Tune Up

If you haven't been diving for a longer time and you want to freshen up your skills, the PADI Tune Up might be the appropriate thing to do.

Within the half-day refresh course you will get comfortable again in your scuba gear (handling of equipment, managing buoyancy control and practicing safety skills) and also your theoretical knowledge will be freshened up.

You may decide if you want do the Tune Up in the shallow waters of Koh Chang, Koh Payam or in the swimming pool at Ranong

If your most recent dive is longer then 6 months ago before the start of your dive tour, we will require, for your own as well our safety, that you will join a Tune Up before the start of the tour.
