The PADI Reactivate program is designed to refresh your scuba diving skills and knowledge if you’ve been inactive for a while. It’s a great way to brush up on the fundamentals and regain your confidence before getting back in the water. Think of it as a “tune-up” for your diving skills.
Here’s what the PADI Reactivate program involves:
- Knowledge Review: You’ll review key diving concepts and safety procedures, either online or by working with a PADI Instructor. This covers essential topics like dive planning, equipment use, problem management, and safe diving practices. The review can be tailored to the areas you feel you need to refresh most.
- Skills Review: You’ll practice essential scuba skills in confined water (like a pool) or open water, guided by a PADI Instructor. These skills typically include:
- Buoyancy Control: Regaining your neutral buoyancy and practicing hovering
- Mask Clearing and Removal: Practicing how to clear a flooded mask and how to remove and replace it underwater
- Regulator Recovery and Clearing: Practicing how to recover and clear a regulator if it comes out of your mouth
- Alternate Air Source Use: Practicing how to use an alternate air source (octopus) in an emergency
- Emergency Ascent: Reviewing the procedures for a controlled emergency ascent
