PADI ReActivate Course
PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre based at Littlehampton Marina, West Sussex
£150 per diver
Refresh your diving knowledge and practical skills with PADI ReActivate at Abyss Scuba School. Designed for qualified divers, this refresher helps you revisit your training before returning to diving or heading off on your next trip.
Complete your PADI eLearning before practising essential skills in the water with a PADI professional. Whether you want to refresh particular techniques or feel more comfortable with your equipment, the session focuses on your experience and the areas you need to practise.
Course Highlights
What You’ll Learn
Use PADI ReActivate eLearning to review essential diving knowledge, including dive planning, equipment use and managing common diving problems.
The interactive learning lets you move through familiar topics and spend more time on areas that need refreshing. Your PADI professional will review your understanding and answer questions before your practical session.
Practical Training
Revisit equipment setup, pre-dive checks and essential underwater skills with guidance from a PADI professional.
Your session includes a review of key skills, with opportunities to practise areas such as buoyancy control, mask clearing and regulator use. We’ll discuss your previous diving experience and any techniques you would particularly like to refresh.
On Completion
After successfully completing both the knowledge review and in-water refresher, PADI divers receive an updated certification card showing their ReActivate completion date. Eligible divers certified through another training organisation receive ReActivate recognition.
Your PADI certification does not expire. ReActivate records that you have refreshed your knowledge and skills, while your existing qualification, depth limits and any supervision requirements continue to apply.
