It is essentially the new and updated version of the Scuba Review. If you have not completed a PADI IDC lately, you may not have actually encountered the complete PADI ReActivate yet, so here are the answers to a couple of the most commonly asked questions about it.<\/p>\n<h5>What is PADI ReActivate?<\/h5>\n<p>The PADI ReActivate Program is a semi replacement for the Scuba Review and it consists of 2 parts.<\/p>\n<p>1. A fully Digital Knowledge Review &#8211; Online for Computers, or the Interactive Reactivate Touch for tablets or mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>2. In-water Skills &#8211; Much like a scuba review except now, they are more tailored to the diver&#8217;s needs, by conducting an interview with the diver to evaluate how comfortable the diver is, as well as to discuss what skills and techniques they want to practise.<\/p>\n<p>The skills that must be conducted are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mask removal and replacement<\/li>\n<li>Neutral buoyancy and hover<\/li>\n<li>Emergency weight drop<\/li>\n<li>Alternate air source ascent, with the diver acting as both donor and receiver<\/li>\n<li>Any other skills the diver would like to practice, or the dive professional feels they should<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Upon completion of the PADI ReActivate Program, we can issue a replacement certification card that shows the original certification date plus the new ReActivate Date.<\/p>\n<h5>Is the PADI Scuba Review no longer Valid?<\/h5>\n<p>No, it is still valid as a PADI Program for now, just that it is no longer in the Instructor Manual. It is meant to replace in Scuba Review in all ways, except that:<\/p>\n<p><strong>The PADI ReActivate minumum age is 13<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is due to child protection laws in the USA regarding the internet.<\/p>\n<p>So hang on to your Instructor Manual 2014, the Scuba Review is still perfectly valid and in fact <em>necessary<\/em> for refreshing the skills of divers below the age of 13, until further notice.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2854\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2854\" style=\"width: 674px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"dt-single-image\" href=\"https:\/\/ada.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/ReActivate-Thru.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2854\" src=\"https:\/\/ada.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/ReActivate-Thru.png\" alt=\"ReActivate Thru Date\" width=\"674\" height=\"423\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2854\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ReActivate Thru<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h5>What does ReActivate Thru Date Mean?<\/h5>\n<p>This date is more of a reminder to diver that basic knowledge and skills deteriorate over time so if they have dived in some time, they should consider taking a continuing education course to brush up their skills with a PADI Pro, or even take ReActivate again. PADI Certification Cards DO NOT EXPIRE.<\/p>\n<h5>Should I refuse Diving Services to a Diver when it is beyond the Reactivate Thru Date?<\/h5>\n<p>No, PADI Certification Cards DO NOT EXPIRE.<\/p>\n<p>You can use this as a tool to access diver readiness along with the normal logbook and certification card checks and asking the diver directly about their recent dive activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have been to PADI website or read the training bulletins and Undersea Journals, you should have already come across PADI&#8217;s new ReActivate Program.
