Get back in the water confidently with the PADI ReActivate refresher in Hikkaduwa, well suited to certified divers who have not dived in a while. You review key knowledge and rehearse essential scuba skills in shallow water before a relaxed dive on the calm house reef. It is a good way to shake off the rust on Sri Lanka's gentle south coast before exploring the reefs and wrecks.
PADI ReActivate refreshes existing divers rather than awarding a new certification, and updates your recognition date. A PADI certification has no fixed expiry, but a refresher is strongly recommended after a long break from diving.
The refresher uses Hikkaduwa's sheltered house reef in calm, warm 27-29°C water, where easy entries and good visibility through the November-to-April season make a stress-free setting to regain your diving confidence.
