Why ReActivate?

Your PADI certification never expires; but if you haven't been diving in a while, it's better to be over-prepared than risk a problem because you forget something important. For just a knowledge review, complete eLearning. To get comfortable in the water again, also schedule time with a dive professional. Dive shops also appreciate seeing a recent ReActivated date on your certification card.

Step 1 — PADI eLearning

It's easy to fit a scuba refresher program into your busy schedule. Using a computer or mobile device, watch videos of how to perform basic scuba skills and review dive planning and safety procedures — whenever, wherever it's convenient for you.

eLearning time commitment: 2-3 hours

Step 2 — With Your Instructor

ADDITIONAL COST: Your Dive Shop will charge fees for training and gear rental. For a ReActivated card, complete a water session where you'll practice setting up dive gear, make ascents and descents, and review any scuba skills you may have forgotten.

Total time commitment: 2-6 hours
