Refresher — Scuba Du

REACTIVATE SCUBA REFRESHER PROGRAM

Haven't been diving lately and want a quick scuba refresher? The PADI reactivate program is the perfect way to update your dive knowledge and review basic scuba skills. Whether you just need a few reminders or want a more comprehensive review, this program provides an engaging, descriptive refresher of scuba principles and procedures.

The program has two components:

A knowledgeable review that includes interacting with Reactivate eLearning
A dive skills refresher you complete with a PADI professional

After successfully completing both components, a PADI diver receives a replacement certification card showing a “reactivated thru” date. Divers initially certified through other training organizations (with proof of at least an entry-level certification) receive reactivate recognition cards.

ACADEMIC

Reactivate eLearning has 20 main sections with scenarios that help you recall and apply what you know and want to refresh in an integrated manner. You'll answer several questions and either move on to the next section, or review additional background information for more detail. It's intuitive and interesting!

Examples of section topics include:

Dive preparation
Boat diving
Dive computers
Aquatic life
Handling problems
Diving health and fitness

To complete your refresher, you'll be prompted to complete the Reactivate Quick Review. Reactivate eLearning also includes a dive skills review with a video demonstration along with RDP and enriched air diving reviews.
