Whether you wet your fins in a quarry, river, lake or ocean the objective is the same: submerge safely. Keeping your scuba skills fresh is foundational to successful diving. This is easiest if you’re diving frequently, but unfortunately, many of us have experienced extended surface intervals recently.

If you’re worried your scuba skills aren’t up to snuff, PADI’s ReActivate™ program and DAN’s Prepared Diver course are both great ways to shake off the algae before getting back in the water. Remote eLearning kicks off the ReActivate™ program, which ends with a dip in a pool or your local waters. This dive alongside a PADI Pro gives you a chance to answer any questions you have about return-to-water (much better than return-to-office!). DAN’s course draws from real-world dive accidents, preparing you to avoid preventable mistakes that could derail a dive. It also runs through the science of scuba, empowering you to make well-informed decisions that reduce risks underwater.

Both of these programs can currently be accessed at no cost with a 45-day free trial of PADI Club, a global diving community. In addition to free access to these courses, PADI Club members get Member credits for PADI Travel—perfect for booking that dream trip now that some international destinations are reopening. After the trial period, a $49.95 annual membership to PADI Club includes a free subscription to Scuba Diving magazine as well as discounts on PADI Gear and continuing education.
