ReActivate Your Certification with Go Pro Cayman

Haven’t been scuba diving lately and want a quick refresher? The ReActivate™ program is the perfect way to brush up on your knowledge and skills from the PADI Open Water Diver Course before jumping back into the water. Whether you want a few reminders or need to go over the basics, ReActivate is personalized for you: You conveniently review scuba concepts on your tablet, mobile device or computer, then go diving with a PADI Professional. It’s quick and easy, and a good way to prepare for your next PADI course or get ready for a diving vacation. The best part is, divers who complete both the knowledge and in-water skill refresher receive a replacement certification card with a ReActivated date on it.

Any PADI certified diver who wants a refresher or pre-travel update should ReActivate. Dive shops appreciate seeing a recent ReActivate date on your certification card because it means you’re ready to dive in.

The ReActivate program includes the ReActivate Touch that you can download to your tablet or mobile device. Refreshing your diving knowledge has never been easier or more convenient. The PADI ReActivate program also:

Delivers cutting edge technology to reeducate you on fundamental scuba knowledge you may have forgotten since your last dive.
Offers a prescriptive approach to refresh skills you need or want to focus on. Your PADI Instructor will work with you to get you acclimated with gear set up and skills you’ll work on prior to jumping back into the water.
Includes a completion certificate for those who finish the academic portion and a PADI replacement card if you complete both academic and in-water skills with a PADI Instructor.

How does it Work?

If it’s been over six months since you’ve been diving and you’re planning a trip, you need to purchase the digital theory review from your dive center (who will give you an access code) or through the new PADI App. Once downloaded you will be presented with various realistic diving scenarios through text or a video and you will need to answer a multiple choice question on each scenario. Correct answers will progress you through the scenarios and incorrect responses will explain the correct answer and ask a similar question to ensure that you have understood.

After completing all topics you complete the Re Activate Quick Review online, when answered correctly you will be presented with a certificate that you need to present to your dive center when you need to complete your water skills.

The Water Skills can be completed in Confined or Open Water with an Active PADI DiveMaster or Instructor. They will check your Log Book, ask what kind of diving you have done and if there are any specific skill you would like to practice.

During the Water Skills part you will have to assemble your equipment, enter the water and:

1. remove, replace and clear the mask

2. become neutrally buoyant and hover

3. use the weight system’s quick release to become positively buoyant in water too deep to stand in

4. ascend using an alternate air source and establish positive buoyancy on the surface

5. perform a CESA

After this your Instructor will help you to practice and SCUBA skills you would like to practice.

When this is all completed your Instructor will process your Re Activation where you can choose one of your SCUBA cert. cards (including specialty ratings) to be Re Activated. When this is done your new Re Activated card will be sent straight to your registered address in the post.
