Getting Started Is as Easy as 1-2-3!
Step 1: Complete the ReActivate eLearning
Begin by watching realistic, action-based scenarios designed to refresh your scuba knowledge. The PADI ReActivate program tests your responses, reinforces correct procedures, and offers additional guidance when needed. It’s an efficient, interactive way to rebuild confidence before getting back in the water. Your E-learning code will be issued by us once you are registered for the course.
Step 2: Review Skills With a PADI Professional (Optional but Recommended)
Join one of our instructors for an in-water skills refresher. We provide all required gear except personal items (mask, snorkel, fins, and fin boots). Simply bring your personal gear and enjoy a fun, low-stress session focused on rebuilding comfort and technique. Your instructor will review key foundational skills, then give you time to practice anything you want. Most sessions last about two hours.
Step 3: Receive an Updated Certification Card
Complete both the online ReActivate program and the in-water skills session to earn a PADI ReActivated certification E-card. This confirms you are refreshed, current, and ready for your next dive adventure.
If you’re certified through another agency, we’ve got you covered. You will complete the PADI ReActivate academic portion online and attend our pool session for skills review. After completion, you’ll receive a PADI ReActivated certification card showing you successfully completed a refresher with us.
If you prefer completing the in-water portion at the quarry instead of the pool, students are responsible for travel and quarry entry fees.
