PADI ReActivate | Scuba Refresher Program

Scuba diving is a wonderful and safe form of recreation. However, you should go through this brief refresher to make sure you remember exactly how to use your diving equipment and what procedures apply to recreational diving.

Anyone wishing to engage in recreational diving must present a scuba license or license number for online verification. Equally important is your logbook with recorded dives. To maintain our high standards of service and ensure your safety, you must provide proof that your last dive was no more than six months ago. If your break in diving was longer than six months, you will need a brief review of the rules, theory and some practical skills.

You can complete the PADI ReActivate™ program through online training and short pool classes, or complete the theory and pool classes on-site at our dive center. If you choose the e-learning program, you can save time by studying while traveling or at your leisure. If you have additional questions, please contact us to find the right solution.

You probably remember well from your PADI Open Water Diver course that diving is a completely safe form of recreation as long as you follow the rules. However, in the rush of everyday duties, work and home, something may have escaped your attention.

If you haven’t had a chance to jump into the water for a few months, it’s a good idea to remind yourself of all the basics, which is why it’s so important to practice all the rules before diving into the ocean. It is simply essential for safety and comfort.

Scuba Refresher Program – theoretical part

PADI Refresher training consists of two parts. The first is a short theory to make sure that you remember all the rules and basics of diving physics. You can do this part on your own using a specially designed online training course.

The second part is a pool exercise using dive equipment and an instructor. During this class you will practice how to use the dive equipment and how to behave during and after the dive. The instructor will also tell you about the specifics of diving in Costa Rica and the safety rules on our boat.
