PADI Reactivate !

Update your dive skills and knowledge with a quick scuba refresher from the
PADI Open Water Diver Course before jumping back into the water.

Are you certified but haven’t been in the water lately?
Are you looking to refresh your dive skills and knowledge?

If you answered “yes” then this program is for you.

Haven’t been diving lately and want a quick scuba refresher? The ReActivate™ program is the perfect way to update your dive skills and knowledge 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 dive vacation. The best part is, divers who complete both the knowledge and inwater 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.

*Your PADI certification does not expire. Participation in PADI ReActivate™ is not mandatory, but recommended as an easy way to refresh your foundational scuba safety knowledge and skills if you haven’t been diving in a while. Divers who complete both the knowledge and in-water skill refresher receive a replacement certification card with a “ReActivated thru” date on it.

Using ReActivate eLearning (for tablets or mobile devices) or ReActivate Online (for your personal computer), you’ll immerse yourself in dive scenarios and make decisions that test your understanding of important dive safety concepts, dive planning essentials and problem management. Move through ReActivate at your own pace and delve deeper into topics when you need or want to.

In the water, your PADI Professional will help you regain comfort and confidence in scuba diving. You’ll practice a few safety-related skills and then go over anything you specifically want to review.

Contact us at Wilson Diving to get ReActivate eLearning or ReActivate Online and start working through the scenarios. Then, schedule your ReActivate water skills session.

Includes:

  • Class/Pool-time with instructor or divemaster to practice basics and help you refresh with dive skills

Skin Diving and Snorkelling!

Who should take this course?

Skin diving is snorkeling while making breath-hold dives to observe aquatic life, up close and personal. It’s a great way to explore the underwater world when you’re not able to scuba dive or if scuba diving just isn’t your thing. The PADI Skin Diver course teaches you how to enjoy watching life below the surface and comfortably venture underwater for short visits, whether you dive in a local freshwater lake or the big blue ocean, at home or on holiday at a dive destination.

The PADI Skin Diver course teaches you about:

  • How to choose, adjust and use skin diving equipment.
  • Basic safety guidelines for being in and around the water.
  • Snorkeling and skin diving techniques including checking buoyancy, surface swimming, clearing water from your snorkel and performing effortless surface dives.
  • Going on an optional skin dive at a local dive site.

    How can you start learning now?

    Enroll for your course with Wilson Diving, and get started earning your PADI Skin Diver certification. Ask your instructor about the PADI Discover the Underwater World video and companion piece – The Snorkeler’s Field Guide. Although not required for the course, the video has great tips that will come in handy when you hit the water and the field guide covers different underwater environments along with common aquatic life.

    What gear will you use?

    The PADI Skin Diver course teaches you how to use basic snorkeling equipment including a masksnorkelfins, snorkeling vest, exposure protection like a wet suit and dive weights as needed.

In this course, you will learn how and why Nitrox can extend your bottom time as well as its limitations. You will also learn the guidelines and considerations for dive equipment that will be exposed to high percentages of oxygen. Finally, you’ll learn how to manage your overall oxygen exposure, use you dive computer with Nitrox and how measure the oxygen content of a scuba cylinder with an oxygen analyzer.
