PEAK PERFORMANCE  BUOYANCY

Excellent buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought.

 

They more easily observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. You can achieve this, too.

 

The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level.

During two scuba dives, you’ll learn how to:

  • Determine the exact weight you need, so you’re not too light or too heavy.

  • Trim your weight system and scuba gear so you’re perfectly balanced in the water.

  • Streamline to save energy, use air more efficiently and move more smoothly through the water.

  • Hover effortlessly in any position – vertical or horizontal.

It often takes new divers about 10 dives or so to get comfortably weighted with the right amount of ballast, but because trim issues are less conspicuous, divers can go for years without realising them.

A diver can have perfect weighting and still swim through the water like a large truck. The idea, of course, is to fine-tune your profile so you swim more like a sleek sports car.

That's what this course is all about, making sure you can get the best trim to also master your buoyancy control!
