PADI Reactivate® Course
If it's been a while since your last dive, the PADI Reactivate® Course is the easiest way to refresh your scuba diving knowledge and skills. Whether you've been out of the water for six months or several years, Reactivate helps you regain confidence before your next diving holiday or local dive.
The course begins with the PADI ReActivate online learning programme, allowing you to review diving theory at your own pace. Your session then continues with one of our experienced PADI Professionals in our 25-metre heated indoor pool, where you'll practise the essential scuba skills every diver should be comfortable with.
During your in-water session you'll refresh:
- Buoyancy control
- Mask clearing and regulator recovery
- Controlled ascents and descents
- Air-sharing and emergency procedures
- Equipment assembly and pre-dive safety checks
- General diving techniques and confidence underwater
Every Reactivate session is tailored to your experience and comfort level, giving you as much time as you need to practise before heading back into open water.
On successful completion, your PADI certification record is updated to show you've completed the PADI Reactivate programme, providing reassurance to dive centres and instructors around the world that your diving skills are current.
Who is this course for?
The PADI Reactivate Course is ideal for:
- Certified PADI divers who haven't dived for several months or a few years.
- Divers preparing for an overseas diving holiday or liveaboard trip.
- Anyone wanting to rebuild confidence before returning to open water.
Returning After a Long Break
If you haven't been diving for several years, don't worry—many divers find themselves in the same position. The PADI Reactivate Course is designed to help you return to diving safely and confidently.
Depending on how long you've been out of the water, your previous diving experience, and your comfort level during the session, your PADI Professional may recommend additional pool training before returning to open water. This ensures you are fully confident with your buoyancy, diving skills, and emergency procedures.
Additional training sessions are available at £50 per session and can be arranged as required. There is no pressure to book extra sessions, but we recommend them whenever they will help you become a safer and more confident diver.
