Peak performance buoyancy

An ideal diver may vary from person to person, but the type of diver we aim for is one who is considerate of the underwater environment and shows respect for the ocean and marine life.

To achieve this, a major step is to enhance your underwater posture and swimming technique—in other words, your buoyancy control skills. Building on the techniques you have already learned in the Open Water course, additional training will cover frog kick, helicopter turn, and back kick.

You will also learn how to properly consider appropriate weighting and how to control your depth through breathing techniques.

We will calculate your Surface Consumption Rate (SCR) for each dive to monitor your air consumption and track your progress in buoyancy control with measurable data.

During the course, we will use streamlined diving equipment for these skills. This includes a wing backplate harness BCD and fins that aid in achieving neutral buoyancy.

Deep diving

In this section, you will learn how to plan a dive when diving deeper than 18 meters. Using the dive planning sheet below, you will predict air consumption and follow the rule of thirds to ensure a safe dive according to your plan.

Achieving this will be the goal.
