Scubaworld
PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty
Course with Scubaworld on the Costa Blanca
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.If
you
want
to
fine-tune
your
buoyancy,
soar
over
reefs,
extend
bottom
time
by
reducing
air
consumption
and
prolong
the
life
of
your
dive
equipment,
the
Peak
Performance
Buoyancy
Specialty course is the course for you.
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
