PADI/SDI Refresher Dive

Feeling rusty? Haven’t dived in a while?
Our PADI/SDI Refresher Dive is the perfect way to review essential scuba skills and regain your confidence underwater. Whether it’s been a few months or several years, we’ll help you ease back into diving with professional guidance.

This refresher program includes a skills review in shallow water and a fun guided ocean dive with an experienced instructor. It’s ideal for certified divers looking to refresh their knowledge before joining more advanced dives or continuing their dive education.

Get back in the water safely, comfortably, and confidently—your next dive adventure starts here!

Haven’t been diving for a while? The Refresher / Inactive Diver Program is designed to help certified divers review essential scuba skills, refresh theory, and regain confidence in the water. Whether it’s been a few months or a few years, this course is the best way to return to diving safely and comfortably.

This program includes a skills review session in a pool or confined water, followed by a guided dive in the ocean with a professional instructor. You’ll go over buoyancy control, mask clearing, gear setup, underwater communication, and more—at your own pace.

Perfect before your next dive trip or as a requirement by some dive operators if you’ve been inactive for 6–12 months.

Before the Dive:

  • Brief review of scuba theory and safety procedures
  • Equipment setup and pre-dive checks

During the Experience:

  • 1–2 training dives depending on your comfort level
  • Practice core scuba skills in a location that suits your needs — from shore or by boat

Is a refresher dive mandatory?
A refresher might be required if you’re diving with a guide or joining a liveaboard trip, especially if you haven’t been in the water for over a year. In all other cases, it’s totally up to you.
Dive equipment is not included in the course. You can bring your own gear or rent it from us if needed.
We offer refresher dives from shore in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea or Riviera Beach.
Both refresh your skills, but ReActivate includes optional eLearning and can update your certification date.
Most divers take a refresher after 6–12 months of inactivity, or if they don’t feel confident.
No, eLearning is optional. It’s only needed if you want an updated certification card.
The experience usually takes about 3–4 hours, including skill review and one or two ocean dives.
