The PADI Re-Activate Day Trip program consists of three parts: a knowledge review and a confined water skills review with open water scuba dive & an afternoon boat dive. The knowledge review segment covers the basic safety information divers learn during their entry-level training. We use the scuba tune-up guidebook or for a complete re-assessment the PADI Open Water Diver course quizzes and exam is used to test a divers knowledge. The confined water skills review allows participants to practice basic scuba skills. With guidance from a PADI professional, divers update and fine-tune their diving ability in a controlled environment, then enjoy an open water dive to our house reef. In the afternoon divers join the boat for an afternoon dive with a PADI Divemaster or Instructor.
Once the PADI Re-Activate is complete and you feel comfortable in the water you can join our daily diving program. The PADI Re-Activate program is offered at no additional charge for divers on a multiple diving package. This program also offers an opportunity to obtain an environmental orientation to a local dive site from a PADI member while gaining confidence and refreshing dive skills.
At all times you are in safe hands. We pride ourselves on small group instruction ensuring our clients get the very best of attention from the instructor. Safety is paramount, we adhere to PADI standards and procedures and HSE Guidelines. Our boats are equipped with marine radio, GPS & First Aid kits and our qualified dive guides are always eager to to assist whenever needed. All our guides are trained in Emergency First Response.

After scuba diving, current PADI Flying After Diving guidelines state that you should not go to altitude (this includes flying and climbing) within 18 hours when completing multiple scuba dives. This means that the day after your diving program you can take a flight after 0930 hrs in the morning. Or you can choose to not take part in the afternoon dive and therefore take a flight after 0600 hrs in the morning the following day. Please note that since all our programs last a full day there will be no refund offered for missed dives since you have the option to stay on the island or enjoy snorkeling and trekking activities.
