Travelling abroad with an ISC dive card?
The ISC card, issued by ProDive Sydney’s two locations, is not widely recognised internationally. Some dive operators may question its validity at check-in. To avoid delays and ensure a smoother experience, complete PADI ReActivate with Abyss Scuba Diving. You’ll get a globally recognised PADI record and a recent ReActivated date, helping you dive hassle-free and get back underwater faster.
Why ISC divers can face issues overseas
- Limited recognition: ISC isn’t a global agency; many overseas centres haven’t heard of it.
- Extra hoops: You may be asked for additional proof, check dives, or even turned away.
- Holiday time lost: Confusion at the counter delays your diving.
How PADI ReActivate fixes the problem
- PADI record created: Your name and level appear in the PADI database for easy verification.
- ReActivated card: You receive a PADI card showing your equivalent level and a recent ReActivated date.
- Instant familiarity: PADI is widely recognised by dive centres around the world.

FAQs
Will my ISC card still be valid?
Yes, but many operators don’t recognise ISC. A PADI ReActivated card greatly reduces the chance of check-in issues.
Do I need to redo my full course?
No. ReActivate is a refresher and verification pathway, not a full recertification.
What level will my PADI card show?
Your equivalent level (e.g., Open Water, Advanced) based on your existing training.
Can you provide proof for a resort or liveaboard?
Yes. We can supply a training confirmation letter on Abyss letterhead upon request.
