I just took a refresher course in Scuba in March. The instructor of my first class was fired by PADI because he was too lax and I hadn't dove since the open water dive so I figured it was worth retaking the class. Only difference was my cert class was PADI and the class I just took was NAUI. I find that NAUI puts more emphasis on the dive tables and water rescues.
Since the bouyancy thing has already been established I'm gonna go with caution for my advice. Don't dive in situations that are beyond your skill level. Diving is fun but a beginner class doesn't qualify you for every type of diving. The good news is you'll probably love diving and continue doing it until you're able to handle more advanced dives.
Oh and learn the dive tables even though it's not vital with the new dive computers.. Knowing the dive tables gives you a better idea of what to expect as far as dive times. Tables are actually really easy once you learn it anyways.
