Why Peak Performance Buoyancy?

If you want to fine-tune your buoyancy and soar over reefs or wrecks, extend bottom time by reducing air consumption and prolong the life of your dive equipment, the Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course is for you.

While this course may not sound as "exciting" as many other PADI courses, it will do more to improve your diving skills and enjoyment than any other course. Your improved skills will allow you to carry less weight and focus much more of your attention on the dive rather than buoyancy! This course is a MUST!

What do I need to start?

• PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organization)
• Minimum age: 10 years old

What will I do?

During your Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course, you'll use PADI's Basic Weighting Guidelines to determine the correct amount of weight. Then you'll practice the fundamentals of peak performance buoyancy during two open water dives, including the buoyancy check, fine-tuning buoyancy underwater, weight positioning for trim, streamlining and visualization.

How long will it take?

• Recommended Course Hours: 5
• Minimum Open Water Training: two dives in one day

Where can I go from here?

Your Performance Buoyancy Dive from your Advanced Open Water course may count towards your Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course at instructor discretion. This Specialty course also counts toward one of the five Specialties required for your Master Scuba Diver certification.
