You've probably seen a diver who seems completely comfortable underwater. They hover without constantly kicking, maintain their depth, and move through the water without fighting to stay in position. That kind of control comes from understanding how your weighting, BCD, breathing, trim, and equipment work together.
Better buoyancy can help you:
The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty includes two open-water training dives focused specifically on improving your buoyancy control and the way you position yourself underwater.
You'll work with your PADI Instructor on:
At Sail Fish Scuba, we keep our student-to-instructor ratio at a maximum of 4:1, so you get plenty of hands-on attention from your instructor.
Buoyancy is very individual to each diver. Your weighting, trim, body position, breathing, and equipment all play a role, so our instructors can watch how you dive, make adjustments with you, and help you find what works best for you.
The goal is better buoyancy control and skills you can continue building on every time you dive.
The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty is a scuba diving course with in-water training, so all participants are required to complete the Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire before beginning the course.
The Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire is designed to help assess your overall health and identify any medical conditions that could affect your ability to dive safely. The Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire is required for all recreational scuba diving and freediving courses.
1. If you respond with a “yes” to statements 3, 5 or 10 on page 1 of the Diver Medical form, you must obtain written clearance to dive from a physician as a prerequisite to in-water activities.
2. A “yes” response to statements 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 or 9 on page 1 of the Diver Medical form requires you to respond to statements on page 2. A “yes” response to any statements on page 2 requires written clearance to dive from your physician as a prerequisite to in-water activities.
3. There can be no restrictions or conditions noted by your physician (for example, depth limits, water temperature restrictions, etc.)
4. Medical clearance from a physician is valid for one year.
Scuba diving, freediving, and snorkeling are physically strenuous activities that require participants to be in good overall physical and mental health. If you have any concerns about your health or fitness to dive, we strongly recommend consulting with a physician prior to your participation. As a certified diver, it is your responsibility to maintain and refresh your knowledge and skills through regular practice and ongoing education.
