            Peak Performance Buoyancy

            Peak Performance Buoyancy

            $150.00

            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.

            PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 10 years old, are eligible to take the Peak Performance Buoyancy course.

            PADI materials required.

            • Description

            Product Description

            What will you learn?

            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.

            Get credit! The first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.

            New to rebreathers? This course has many helpful tips to achieving good buoyancy control when rebreather diving.

            How can you start learning now?

            Visit our dive shop to enroll in the course and get your PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Manual and Peak Performance Buoyancy video. By reading the manual and watching the video before class, you’ll be ready to get in the water and start practicing your buoyancy skills when you meet with your PADI Instructor.

            What scuba gear will you use?

            It’s best to use your own scuba equipment, including a weight system, so that you fine-tune your buoyancy in gear you’ll use on every dive. Your PADI Instructor can help you find the equipment that is best for you and your diving adventures.

              Having scuba tanks on your back isn’t a requirement for exploring the underwater world. Many scuba divers have discovered the joy of mounting cylinders on their sides.

Sign up for the PADI Sidemount Diver Specialty course.

If this course is combined, the requirements for BOTH courses must be met. The TDI Sidemount Diver course teaches students how to utilize side-mounted primary cylinders as an alternative to the traditional back-mounted method.

              $150.00

              The thought of dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring. Although you’ve been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light. The scene changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge. If you’ve wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, sign up for the PADI Night Diver Specialty course.
