Peak performance Buoyancy
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.
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.
The Fun Part
The fun part of this course is giving your dive skills a polish you may not have thought possible.
What You Learn
How to trim your scuba gear so you are perfectly balanced in the water. Nuances in determining weights so you are not too light nor too heavy by even a slight degree
How to streamline to save air and move smoothly through the water
How to hover effortlessly in both a vertical position and a horizontal position
The Scuba Gear You Use
You use all the basic scuba gear, depending on what type of diving you will be doing. You may also want to use underwater photography equipment, DPV's (underwater scooters), a dive torch, a dry suit, lift bags, dive float, line or other specialty gear.
The Learning Materials You Need
PADI’s Peak Performance Buoyancy video on DVD provides an overview of the skills you will practice with your instructor. It comes with an enclosed booklet that includes a buoyancy assessment questionnaire and basic weighting guidelines – useful whenever you purchase new gear or dive in a new environment.
Prerequisites
Must be a PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver.
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 scuba gear and how to make them suit your specific diving styles.
