Return to the Water with Confidence
Whether it’s been six months or six years, stepping back into scuba doesn’t have to feel intimidating. Our Refresher & ReActivate options are designed to help certified divers rebuild confidence, fine-tune essential skills, and reconnect with the joy of being underwater—all in a supportive, low-pressure setting.
Two Options, One Goal: Helping You Dive Again—Comfortably and Safely
Scuba Refresher
Ideal for certified divers who’ve been out of the water for a short time (6–24 months), or who just want to brush up before a dive trip.
This flexible, instructor-led session focuses on the skills you need most—like buoyancy control, mask clearing, regulator recovery, gear setup, and basic dive planning. Conducted in calm ocean conditions (no pool necessary), the Refresher also includes a guided dive so you can practice your skills in a real-world setting.
-No eLearning required
-No certification update issued
-Perfect for casual returners or vacation divers
-Custom-tailored to your experience and comfort level
-Conducted at La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Cove or other calm, shallow dive sites. Option to practice in our heated pool!PADI ReActivate™
Designed for divers who’ve been inactive for several years, need a more thorough review, or want official documentation of their updated skills.
ReActivate includes PADI eLearning, which covers theory, safety protocols, and dive planning at your own pace online. Then, you’ll join one of our instructors for a skills session in calm open water—reviewing key techniques and confirming your readiness to dive. Once completed, you’ll receive an updated PADI certification card with a new “ReActivated” date.

-Recognized globally by dive shops and operators
