Refresh your Scuba Skills for a More Enjoyable Dive Adventure
Haven’t been diving lately and want a quick scuba refresher? Our refresher program is the perfect way to update your dive skills and knowledge from your Open Water Diver Course before jumping back into the water safely and securely!
Our 2 tank refresher is conducted at the shore dive site in the open ocean. This means you will be face to face with marine life while getting your own gills back! Our professional PADI Instructors will cover the 5 skills deemed necessary for all certified divers to be proficient at. We will go over all of the gear and how it works as well as a detailed safety briefing to help remind you of the most important protocols when diving. Once we get in the water the first 10-15 minutes of the first dive will be practicing these necessary skills. Once you’ve successfully completed the skills it’s onto the dives!
Any certified diver who wants a refresher with a new certification card and pre-travel update should enroll in our ReActivate Course. Dive shops appreciate seeing a more recent ReActivate date on your certification card because it means you’re ready to dive in!
The Refresher and ReActivate dives are exactly the same. The only difference with the ReActivate is you’ll have some knowledge reviews prior to arrival as well as you will receive a new certification card stating you were “ReActivated” on the date of your dive.
Whether you want a few reminders or need to go over the basics, Dive Kauai’s Refresher & ReActivate is personalized for you and your skill level. It’s quick, easy and a good way to prepare for your next adventure dive with Dive Kauai Scuba Center!

The refresher skills are conducted at the beginning of dive #1 and then the rest of dive #1 and dive #2 are “fun” dives exploring the site and enjoying the marine life!

Not necessarily. All of our dive tours we do provide some basic reminder information during our briefing about our gear, the safety signals and safety reminders for diving. HOWEVER, during parts of the year when water conditions are “bigger”, we do have dives like our Zodiac Boat Adventure Dive in which you will need to have 20 or more logged dives OR have been diving in the last 6 months. If longer than 6 months since your last dive OR you do not yet have 20 logged dives, you may choose to do the Refresher/ReActivate or regular shore dive BEFORE the Zodiac Boat Adventure dive. **For safety, there are no exceptions to this requirement**
