PADI ReActivate Toolbox Tip #4 – Radio Coverage
A selection of PADI ReActivate marketing tools are available to download from the PADI Pros’ Site, enabling your business to re-capture the attention of the huge potential market of inactive divers as well as those who might want to just refresh their skills before a trip or continuing education course.
Toolbox Tip #4
Not everyone has time to visit dive shops or read magazines – and the radio can be an excellent way to reach out to inactive divers whilst they are busy with life’s other priorities, such as driving to work, cooking or relaxing with the family or friends.
Contact your local radio station to find out about upcoming opportunities to talk about scuba diving and to encourage existing divers to get back into the water – either as a general call-to-action or to promote a specific ReActivate event you might be organising.
Some radio stations may offer you a free slot to talk about scuba diving as it could be related to other hot topics they want to discuss, such as family activities for summer, health benefits or coverage of local outdoor events. Other stations may offer radio slots as a paid method of advertising instead.
Either way, you’ll want to make sure you’re able to tell listeners about the benefits of the PADI ReActivate program in 30 seconds. So, we’ve compiled a few script ideas to help you communicate your message.

About PADI ReActivate:
A PADI® Worldwide survey of nearly 400,000 PADI divers showed that 97% of inactive divers intend to return to diving, however, reaching out to these divers has its challenges: they do not necessarily read dive industry publications or visit scuba websites. PADI is applying a number of marketing resources to reach out to this huge potential market in a proactive and significant way.
PADI ReActivate™ is a revolutionary program specifically designed to encourage and support inactive divers in returning to the water as well as allowing regular divers to practice and refresh their skills.
Combining prescriptive, online knowledge development and in-water training, PADI ReActivate presents a flexible, convenient and interactive way to brush up divers’ skills, meeting the needs of recreational divers and PADI Professionals alike. The program is available for iOS and Android tablets (Touch) and for PC/Macs (Online), and upon completion, divers receive a replacement certification card showing their ReActivate date.
