PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Course
$175
Two of the core skills every scuba diver needs to master are neutral buoyancy and underwater navigation! The Diving Adelaide Peak Performance Buoyancy and Underwater Navigator specialty courses will focus on building these two core skills and are frequently taken together on the same weekend. By adjusting your weight and trim, practicing different fin kicks and focusing on your breathing, the buoyancy specialty course will teach you how to conserve your air better, move more gracefully and effortlessly through the water and how to easily adjust your position in the water. By the end of the course you will find it easier to hover and to get closer to the marine life without having an impact on your surroundings.
