About
If you haven't been diving in a while, this is the course for you. It's better to be over-prepared than risk a problem because you forget something important.
When you book the PADI ReActivate Course + eLearning ($250 - $400), you will receive an online course to complete before your pool session. Once you've completed your eLearning and the pool session (confined water dive), you will receive a new PADI card with the Reactivation date on it.
When booking the pool only option, this course counts as a PADI Refresher course, unless you bought the eLearning from a different dive shop already. This refresher is different from the ReActivate course as it does not include a new PADI card, only a signature in your log book by your dive instructor that you completed the course.
Confined Water Dives
During the Confined Water Dives, you learn and practice scuba skills in a pool. You’ll enjoy making one or more mini dives, which take you through the same steps you follow when you make open water dives.
