1 Day

Description

When you want to get close to something, you don't seem to be able to get exactly where you wanted to? You seem to use more air than other divers? Do you want to be a great Underwater Photographer? If any of those apply to you, PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Course is a course for you. Good buoyancy control is an environmentally friendly skill: you can hover over sensitive parts of the reef without damaging aquatic life. Once you get your buoyancy control sorted you can enjoy moving around freely and have fun in three dimensional space. Streamlining, proper weighting, good trim and horizontal position in the water reduce energy you need to move in the water. You'll use less air, get longer dives and generally enjoy diving more. There's no denying that peak performance buoyancy control defines a truly skilled scuba diver. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought. You can achieve that, too. It's not always easy and takes some practice, but with some guidance, you'll learn to trim your scuba gear and hover effortlessly to save air and move smoothly through the water. - What you learn in the course: Proper horizontal trim Proper weighting Streamlining, efficient finning techniques Fine-tuning buoyancy underwater Buoyancy drills - What you do One (1) swimming pool dive and Two (2) dives in open water Short knowledge review There is a manual and you'll need to complete two Peak Performance Buoyancy Knowledge Reviews.
