The child must be at least 8 years old. Children should be comfortable in the water, but no previous diving experience is required. Parental approval is required.

PADI REACTIVATE (SCUBA REFRESHER PROGRAM)

Plan the optional practice in water and get a new patent that brings back the new date "ReActivated". Your PADI certification never expires; but if you haven't been diving for a while, it's better to be too prepared that risk having a problem because you forget something important. Also, diving centers like to see a recent ReActivate date on your license.
