Excellent buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You have 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 students have learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level.
PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 10 years old, are eligible to take the Peak Performance Buoyancy course.
Academic
During two scuba dives, students will learn how to:
Determine the exact weight a diver needs, so the diver is not too light or too heavy
Trim the weight system and scuba gear so a diver is 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
Equipment
It is best for students to use their own scuba equipment, including a weight system, so that students fine-tune buoyancy in gear that will be used on every dive.

The first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward a student’s Advanced Open Water Diver certification. Ask the instructor about earning credit.
