PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy
Buoyancy control during diving
What is neutral buoyancy? Scuba divers like to be neutrally buoyant so they neither sink nor float. It can be a tricky thing. Divers who’ve mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, almost as if by thought. They interact gently with aquatic life and affect their surroundings minimally. That could be you!
The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course refines the basic skills you learned as a PADI Open Water Diver and elevates them to the next level.
Of all the PADI specialty courses, perhaps none is as beneficial to new divers than the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course. In just a day, you can gain experience comparable to 20 dives, drop the amount of weight on your belt, use less and learn how to control your position in the water better.
While new divers do benefit the most from this, these are skills that can benefit any diver, particularly one who has problems with sinking and rising uncontrollably.
The Fun Part
The fun part of this course is giving your dive skills a polish you may not have thought possible.
The underwater acrobatics built into Peak Performance Buoyancy make it not only a productive course, but a fun and enjoyable course as well
Prerequistes
PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization)
Minimum age: 10 years old
Your Next Adventure
Part of mastering buoyancy control is learning how to use your BCD and weight system effectively, plus maintain streamlining. This makes the PADI Equipment Specialist course a natural companion, because you learn more about these pieces of gear and how to make them suit your specific diving styles.
