Reactivate

Service Description

Been a while since your last dive? It happens. Life gets busy, and skills that felt automatic on your Open Water course can feel rusty after a year or two out of the water. ReActivate is built exactly for this — a quick, low-pressure way to knock the rust off before you head back to the Red Sea. Who is this for? Any certified diver who hasn't been in the water for a while and wants to feel confident again before a trip, a course, or just a regular dive day. There's no minimum time away — if you're unsure of yourself, this is worth doing. How it works You'll review core scuba concepts at your own pace on your phone, tablet, or laptop, working through realistic dive scenarios that test your understanding of dive planning, safety, and problem-solving. Then you'll meet one of our instructors in the water to practice a few key safety skills and review anything you'd specifically like to brush up on, whether that's buoyancy, mask clearing, or emergency procedures. What you get Once you've completed both the knowledge review and the in-water skills session, you'll receive a replacement certification card showing your ReActivated date — useful for dive shops and liveaboards who want to see you're current. Good to know Your original certification never expires, and ReActivate isn't mandatory. But if it's been more than a year since your last dive, it's the easiest way to rebuild confidence before jumping into Red Sea conditions, rather than discovering gaps in your skills 18 meters down. Ready to get back in the water? Book your ReActivate session, or contact us to arrange a time that fits your schedule in Sharm El Sheikh. FAQ Section How long has it been since I should ReActivate? There's no fixed rule, but most dive professionals recommend it if you haven't dived in 12 months or more, or if you simply feel unsure of your skills. Does my certification expire if I don't ReActivate? No. Your original certification never expires. ReActivate is a recommended refresher, not a requirement. How long does ReActivate take? The online knowledge review can be done in under an hour at your own pace. The in-water session is typically a single short dive or pool session with an instructor, usually completed in half a day. Can I do ReActivate before a liveaboard or dive trip? Yes — it's one of the most common reasons divers choose it, since dive shops and liveaboards often want to see a recent refresher if it's been a while.
