Description
Get yourself back into underwater world with our Padi Re-Activate Course! Only taking about 1.5 hours to complete, why not go for a dive right after refreshing your skills! Hilo has a lot of fantastic dive sites to choose from, for beginners and advanced divers, so why not book a shore or boat dive right afterwards! Our experienced divemasters and instructors will make sure you have a safe and fun experience during and after your refresher!
The SCUBA Re-Activate course consists of a small eLearning course before attending, so you can quickly refresh your diving knowledge! Once you are done with your eLearning you can get started in the pool with your Divemaster and practice assembling your gear, predive safety checks, mask removal and replacement, emergency weight drop, neutral buoyancy and hovering, and alternate air source use and ascent, and any other underwater skills you want to practice! After that you will receive a brand new ReActivated certification card from PADI!
**Please Note**
If you do not finish your eLearning and paperwork, you will not receive a new certification card until it is complete. If you do not complete your paperwork before attending it will come out of your class time and will be an extra $50 to make up for the wasted time.
Policies
1. Students must show up at least 30 minutes prior to course departure fully prepared (eLearning, PADI Medical and Liability paperwork, and Hilo Ocean Adventures student learning agreement completed), otherwise students will be subject to a $50 make-up fee or a $100 rescheduling fee if you are not medically fit to dive.
2. Students can not reschedule more than 24hrs in advance or it will be a $100 rescheduling fee.*
3. Certification courses are not refundable, if you miss your course within your stay, you have one year to reschedule. Otherwise your course will no longer be valid.
This fee can be waived for circumstances out of the student's control.
Booking Notes
**A note specific to your ReActivate**
You must already be a certified diver (Open Water or higher). This is the official PADI ReActivate program, so a few things to know:
- **Complete your PADI eLearning before you arrive.** You'll get access after booking. Finish it at home, on a layover, or the morning of your session.
- Your session runs about 3 hours: roughly 1.5 hours in our heated pool, then a 45-minute guided shore dive at Wai'olena Beach to verify your skills in real conditions.
- You'll finish with a brand new PADI ReActivate card showing a current date, recognized at dive operations worldwide.
**Bring your existing certification card.** No card, no dive.
Because your ReActivate includes an ocean dive, the post-dive elevation rules apply:
- After diving, wait at least 12 hours before flying or driving above 2,000 feet.
- On the Big Island you can pass 2,000 feet in about 14 minutes of driving, so this applies to driving, not just flying.
- When in doubt, wait longer. Please plan to stay in the Hilo area long enough after your dive to clear that window.
