How long is my Dive Certification/Licence valid for?
A. Your certification does not expire. However,it is highly recommended that you keep in practice, meaning you should dive more than once a year. If you have been out of the water for 12 months or more you should do a scuba review with your local dive store or instructor. All agencies also provide many continuing education courses that will recap your basics skills and teach you more, which of course is a great way to keep skills fresh and well practiced. Recreational divers should look at becoming Rescue divers or the equivalent.
