new guy and kinda new diver with a question.

Unless anyone on this board has taken refresher courses from several shops, it would be difficult for anyone to say who has the best refresher. I would recommend checking around to see what is offered in terms of refresher courses at the local dive shops. See what is offered that fits your schedule. More importantly ask what is included with the refresher. Is it just pool or does it include classroom and pool? What topics are covered in the classroom and/or pool sessions? Is equipment included? Get the facts and make an informed decision about what is best for you in terms of a refresher course.

Welcome back to diving. Glad to hear that you are considering the refresher course. So many people neglect to do that after a long break from diving.
