PADI ReActivate Scuba Review Course

PADI ReActivate Scuba Review Course

The PADI ReActivate Scuba Review Course is a great way to bring you back into the skill threshold and refinement of the foundational skills we often lose during periods of inactivity.

If You Haven’t been scuba diving lately You will need a PADI ReActivate Course or Scuba Review, Scuba Diving Refresher allows you to “ReActivate” your certification which goes into “inactive status” after a period of inactivity.

PADI Reactivate is the perfect way to brush up on your knowledge and skills 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.

Reactivate is quick and easy, and a good way to prepare for your next  Scuba Diving Course or get ready for that well deserved scuba 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, so you can dive without hassle as a safer, more aware diver.

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 and don’t have to waste a day in a pool or shallow water re-qualifying yourself…and with us you’re going to even learn some new techniques and information.

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 to one of our awesome local dive sites.

ReActivate is a new PADI program, so feel free to sign up for Scuba Tuneup with us Online on eLearning.

Because we offer the most progressive dive training in the country, you’ll learn a lot of techniques that aren’t taught anywhere else, but that help enhance the diving experience, making diving safer through more awareness, more structure, more organization using Sequencing, Air, Depth and Duration or SADD checks, Bubble Checks, Safety Drills, a more progressive equipment configuration focusing on standardization, streamlining and simplicity, horizontal trim, posture, buoyancy, proper balance in the water, use of less weight, proper fin techniques teaching divers how to minimize fin movement and effort while maximizing propulsion without silting or causing any physical damage to the reef or aquatic environment, while offering the diver proper and perfect horizontal trim/posture in the water and making the you more aware of your gear, your buddy, your air gauge and some basic dive rescue skills.

Poor buoyancy and trim result in damage to the aquatic environment due to carelessness and lack of awareness
