Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty


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.

You may also count this Specialty certification toward one of the five required Specialties for the Master Scuba Diver Certification.

Buoyancy control is the most important skill for any diver to perfect. Following the Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty you’ll feel more comfortable in the water and your air consumption will improve.

What do I need to start?
PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver certification (or qualifying certification from another organisation).  We are also able to integrate this course with your Open Water Diver course! 

​Minimum age: 10 years old

What will I do?
  • The course is conducted as follows:-
    • One confined water session to practice buoyancy / trim and streamline your equipment
    • One day spent in Open Water completing a minimum of 2 training dives practising and applying your new or improved skills
      • Use PADI's Basic Weighting Guidelines to determine the exact weight you need, so you’re not too light or too heavy.
      • Buoyancy Check
      • Trim your weight system and scuba gear so you’re perfectly balanced in the water.
      • Streamline and visualisation to save energy, use air more efficiently and move more smoothly through the water.
