Peak Performance Buoyancy Diver
Ever wondered how experienced
divers make hovering in any position look so easy or if you have ever missed
that great photo opportunity due to poor buoyancy control then this course is
for you. In fact every aspect of diving can be made more safe, comfortable and
enjoyable with fine tuned buoyancy skills.
To enroll in the PADI Peak
Performance Buoyancy (PPB) program, you’ll need to be a PADI Open Water Diver,
Junior Open Water Diver or equivalent and be at least 10 years old.
The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy program is the perfect opportunity to fine
tune your buoyancy skills. Perfect your buoyancy and you'll conserve air,
energy and our precious environment. Your program will include two open water
dives, which may be conducted in one day.
Some of the topics covered in your PPB program are as follows:
Peak Performance Buoyancy fundamentals: Buoyancy check - Fine-tuning buoyancy
underwater - Weight position and distribution - Streamlining - Use of PADI’s
Basic Weighting Guidelines - Positioning and distributing weight for comfort and
desired body position (trim in the water) - Visualization techniques prior to
dives - Buoyancy checks - Establishing neutral buoyancy during all segments of a
dive - Fine-tuning neutral buoyancy underwater - Hovering.
The elective Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive conducted during the Adventures In
Diving program may be counted toward this specialty at the instructor’s
discretion.
PADI courses offer the most
comprehensive and modern diver training available in the world today.
