About This Adventure
About
Are you a certified diver but haven’t blown bubbles in a while? Do you dive a few times a year or every few years? The PADI ReActivate course allows you to get back in the water under the supervision of an instructor to review basic skills in-water before you go on your way!
Comprised of a quick eLearning module prior to the course start, the ReActivate course can be completed in a single ocean session. Dust off your foundational skills and allow our instructors to assist you with anything in particular from your prior training that you would like to focus on.
The goal of the ReActivate course is to get you safely back in the water under direct supervision, and enable you to feel truly comfortable with your skills before you explore the ocean again.
