The Fun Part

Brush up on your scuba knowledge and skills. Improve your diving ability, and get your scuba gear ready for your next scuba vacation or diving holiday.

What you Learn

You go over scuba knowledge you learned during your initial training with the Dive Force team. Then, practice fundamental skills in a pool or a confined water area. You review:

• Safe diving practices
• Dive planning fundamentals
• Problem management
• Breathing air at depth
• 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, points to remember when performing the skill and a short video clip. Completing this section just before practicing is a great way to refresh your knowledge of how each skill is performed.

This course is particularly beneficial if you:

• Are a PADI Open Water Diver course referral student who wants a refresher prior to making your open water training dives
• Are a PADI Scuba Diver who wants to upgrade to Open Water Diver
• Just haven’t scuba dived in a while and want to get familiar again

The Scuba Gear You Use

You use all the basic scuba gear. We will provide everything you need for the pool session, although we prefer you bring your own mask and snorkel.  You can find everything you need at Dive Force.

Theory Review with Reactivate eLearning

Quickly and effectively review scuba diving knowledge and fundamentals with PADI’s Reactivate eLearning. Begin by answering a few questions related to dive safety, problem management and dive planning. For example:

•     What are the five steps in a pre-dive safety check?
•     What is the maximum depth limit for all recreational diving?
•     What are the signs and symptoms of decompression sickness?
•     At 12meters/ 40 feet a diver runs out of air. Her buddy is more than 60 feet away, what should she do?

 
Prerequisites

To take the PADI ReActivate course you must have

•     a PADI scuba diver certification 
•     Be at least 12 years old
