Scuba Diving Refresher Course

If none of the above dates suits your needs, then we can do a private one on your date of choice for a $200 premium.

What’s Involved?

1. PADI ReActivate eLearning – Complete an interactive online refresher at your own pace, reviewing key dive theory, safety procedures, and best practices.
2. Confined Water Training – Join a PADI Professional in a pool or calm water environment to practice fundamental dive skills, including buoyancy control, mask clearing, and emergency procedures.
3. Optional Ocean Dive – Put your refreshed skills to the test with a guided ocean dive at a local dive site, where you can enjoy the underwater world with renewed confidence while obtaining a few reminders about your scuba skills from your dive professional.

At the end of the program, you’ll receive a PADI ReActivated™ card, showing dive operators that your skills are up to date. Whether you're planning a dive holiday or just getting back into the sport, PADI ReActivate is the best way to ensure you're ready for your next underwater adventure!

What you Learn

You go over dive knowledge you learned during your initial training with the Reactive elearning on your phone, tablet or PC. Then, practise fundamental dive skills in a pool or a confined water area.:

• Safe diving practices
• Dive planning fundamentals
• Problem management
• Breathing air at depth
• Recreational diving and dive tables: dive planning

After you complete the knowledge assessment, you go through the Confined Water Skills Preview. You review information about each skill, why it's important, and points to remember when performing it, and a short video clip. Completing this section just before practising basic skills is a great way to refresh your knowledge of how each skill is performed.

• You are a non-PADI diver who wants to be refreshed into the PADI system before undertaking a PADI continuing education course.

The Scuba Gear You Use

All the dive gear (except for gloves) needed for the refresher is supplied as part of the course.
