PADI ReActivate – Scuba Review Course
The PADI ReActivate 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 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 get in the water 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.
What will you learn?
That will depend on how long you’ve been out of the water for or if you’ve been trained by Dan’s Dive Shop previously or not. Because we offer the most progressive dive training in the country you’ll learn a lot of techniques that aren’t taught anywhere else.
At home using the PADI ReActivate eLearning you’ll immerse yourself in dive scenarios. You will make decisions that test your understanding of important dive safety concepts, dive planning essentials and problem management. Move through ReActivate eLearning at your own pace and delve deeper into topics when you need or want to.
In the water, your DDS Instructor will help you regain comfort and confidence in scuba diving. You’ll practice a few safety-related skills and then go over anything you specifically want to review and if you haven’t been subjected to more progressive diving. This is the perfect time to start learning how to dive right.
Our in-water training will help enhance your diving experience and make diving safer through more awareness, more structure, and more organization. This includes a more progressive equipment configuration focusing on standardization, streamlining and simplicity, horizontal trim, posture, buoyancy, proper balance in the water. How to use of less weight and 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 . We focus on teaching divers 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 diver rescue skills.

Divers who have been away from diving for decades should consider taking our full open water course over again. It isn’t a requirement, but you likely are not going to be a progressive diver who has learned finesse and proper trim, posture and equipment configuration.
