more formal review? |
What if I've been out of the water for a
few months (or a few years)? |
Diamond
Reef Buoyancy Training |
|
|
The Diamond Reef is a buoyancy training
program that utilizes a modular, artificial reef that gives you a
way to measure your buoyancy proficiency. Certified divers will
learn to be more aware of proper ascent rates, horizontal hovering,
breathing and subtle body movement techniques to control, and be
shown what their swimming cross section really is. |

PADI ReActivate Scuba Refresher Program |
|
|
Haven't been diving
lately and want a quick scuba refresher? The PADI ReActivate program
is the perfect way to update your dive knowledge and review basic
scuba skills. Whether you just need a few reminders or want a more
comprehensive review, this program provides an engaging,
prescriptive refresher of scuba principles and procedures.
The program has two components: 1) a knowledge review that includes
interacting with ReActivate eLearning and 2) a dive skills refresher
you complete with a PADI Professional. After successfully completing
both components, a PADI Diver receives a replacement certification
card showing "ReActivated". Divers initially certified through other
training organizations (with proof of at least an entry-level
certification) receive ReActivate Recognition Cards. |
|
|
While it is true
that "Once you are certified, you are certified for life", your
skills do get rusty. Techniques and equipment options also change
over the years. For someone who has been out of the water for many
years, something more extensive than the two options listed above is
usually appropriate. We have had great success with customers who
have updated their skills by retaking the classroom and pool portions of
the Open Water Training. This provides students with updated home
study materials along with a greater amount of class and pool time than
offered in other options. |
