ReActivate - Scuba Refresher

The Reactivate™ Program is perfect for certified divers who haven’t been diving recently and want a quick refresher. This program updates your dive skills and knowledge from the PADI Open Water Diver Course, helping you regain confidence before your next dive. You’ll review scuba concepts on your tablet, mobile device, or computer and then complete an in-water skills session with a PADI Professional. Completing both earns you a replacement certification card with a Reactivated date, showing dive shops you’re ready to dive.

PADI Reactivate™ – Refresh Your Scuba Skills

Who Should Take This Program?

Haven’t been diving lately and want a quick scuba refresher? The Reactivate™ program is the perfect way to update your dive skills and knowledge from the PADI Open Water Diver Course before jumping back into the water. Whether you want a few reminders or need to go over the basics, Reactivate is personalized for you: You conveniently review scuba concepts on your tablet, mobile device or computer, then go diving with a PADI Professional. It’s quick and easy, and a good way to prepare for your next PADI course or get ready for a diving vacation. The best part is, divers who complete both the knowledge and in-water skill refresher receive a replacement certification card with a Reactivated date on it.

Any PADI certified diver who wants a refresher or pre-travel update should reactivate. Dive shops appreciate seeing a recent Reactivate date on your certification card because it means you’re ready to dive in. 

If you want to learn more about diving in a new area or in different dive conditions, also ask about completing a Discover Local Diving experience at a local dive site.

Reactivate is a new PADI program that may not yet be available in all areas.  If you can’t access Reactivate, or can’t access in your language your PADI Instructor can still complete a scuba skills review with you, and you can refresh your diving knowledge with Scuba Tune-Up Online.

*Your PADI certification does not expire.  Participation in PADI Reactivate™ is not mandatory, but recommended as an easy way to refresh your foundational scuba safety knowledge and skills if you haven’t been diving in a while. Divers who complete both the knowledge and in-water skill refresher receive a replacement certification card with a “Reactivated thru” date on it.

What Will You Learn?

Using Reactivate Touch (for tablets and mobile devices) or Reactivate Online (for personal computers), you’ll go through interactive dive scenarios and make decisions that test your understanding of key dive safety concepts, planning essentials, and problem management. You can move through the program at your own pace and dive deeper into topics whenever needed.In the in-water session, a PADI Professional will help you regain comfort and confidence in scuba diving. You’ll practice safety-related skills and go over anything you specifically want to review.

 

How Can You Start Learning Now?

What Gear Will You Use?

You’ll use basic scuba gear including a mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, BCD and a scuba tank.
