ReActivate / Refresher
Certified but haven't dived in a while? Half a day to get your skills and confidence back, ending with a shore dive in Tanote Bay.
Rates reserved for hostel guests
Certified diver, but it has been a while, or you feel a bit nervous about getting back in the water? The PADI ReActivate program is made for you. In half a day, you revisit the important skills and theory from your Open Water course, at your pace, with a Buddha View instructor or divemaster next to you.
It starts with a quick theory review, then a few key skills in the pool: mask, regulator, hovering and sharing air with a buddy. After that, your instructor helps you practise anything you are unsure of or want to improve. The program ends with a beautiful shore dive in Tanote Bay.
The dive centre recommends it to anyone who has not dived for more than six months, unless you are very experienced. Not sure it is for you? Ask at reception or send the form, and we will get you sorted. Price: 2,000 THB, paid at the dive centre.
What you need
Bring your certification card (any recognised agency, from PADI Scuba Diver upwards), a swimsuit and a towel. Minimum age is 10, and you should be comfortable in the water. You fill in a short health questionnaire first.
One important rule: do not fly for at least 18 hours after the dive, so plan it before your departure day.
