Description

Ready to Dive Again? Check Out the PADI Reactivate for Certified Divers!

If it’s been a while since you last explored the underwater world, the PADI Reactivate program is designed just for you. This program helps certified divers regain confidence, proficiency, and essential skills to safely dive again after a break. With a structured approach to refreshing scuba knowledge, the PADI Reactivate program ensures you’re fully prepared and comfortable before returning to open water. 
Aloha Scuba goes beyond the basics, offering a two-tank dive trip guided by certified instructors to make your reactivation a truly immersive experience. While some programs review skills in confined spaces, our approach places you back in real underwater conditions, where you’ll practice essential techniques, review dive theory, and master equipment setup. This hands-on experience not only solidifies your skills but also provides an enjoyable and enriching return to diving, ensuring you leave feeling proficient and prepared.
In addition to in-water practice, we utilize PADI’s flexible eLearning platform, allowing you to refresh dive knowledge at your own pace before meeting in person for the skills review. With interactive videos, quizzes, and assessments, you’ll revisit crucial dive principles, preparing you for a seamless and confident return to diving. And once you complete the program, Aloha Scuba will update your certification records, giving you a new certification card as proof of your updated skills and readiness for future dive adventures.

Wildlife Guidelines

Please be respectful of the fact that coral is a living organism and any standing, touching, or knocking over will irreparably damage the organism that takes a very long time to grow and is essential to our marine reefs. Please also be respectful of any marine animals including but not limited to turtles, rays, sharks, seals, and dolphins. Please never chase, harass, feed, or TOUCH any of the marine species. Enjoy their company if they approach from a distance and calmly move away from them if in their path.

FAQs

Can I fly after diving?

Flying directly after scuba diving is incredibly dangerous and could result in a life-threatening illness called the Bends/Decompression Sickness. The Divers Alert Network (DAN) guidelines for flying after diving include:

  • A single no-decompression dive, a minimum preflight surface or any driving to above 1000 ft (305 m) interval of 12 hours suggested.
  • Multiple dives per day or multiple days of diving, a minimum preflight surface or any driving to above 1000ft (305m) interval of 18 hours is suggested.
  • Dives requiring decompression stops are recommended to have longer than 18 hours.

Please discuss with your dive guide ahead of time what is suggested!

Can I go hiking after diving?

Any activity that brings you above 1000 ft (305 m) can trigger the Bends/Decompression Sickness. Please check your hike elevation to ensure that at no time you will be going up in elevation. If the hike does go to elevation, you must treat it like a preflight interval as listed above in the flying FAQ.

What about sharks?

Incidents of sharks biting people in Hawaiian waters are very rare, occurring on average at a rate of about three or four per year. Fatal shark bites are extremely rare, especially considering the number of people in Hawaii’s waters. People who enter the water need to recognize that there are hidden dangers. A number of marine animals can cause serious injury to people, and sharks are just one example. Entering the ocean should be considered a “wilderness experience,” where people are visitors in a world that belongs to the sharks. The risk of injury caused by sharks is extremely small, but it is a risk accepted by anyone who enters the shark’s world. By learning more about sharks, using common sense, and observing the following safety tips, the risk may be greatly reduced.
