PADI peak Performance Buoyancy: Hone Your Skills In Phuket And Scuba Dive Like The Experts

Mastering buoyancy control is the key element to enjoying scuba diving. If you’ve ever dived in Phuket and wondered how your guide or instructor can glide effortlessly through the water then this short and fun course can give you the answers.

Excellent buoyancy control affects many aspects of diving, you’ll use less energy which it turn means you’ll consume less air, hover effortlessly to observe wildlife without damaging the precious corals and be able to take much better quality photos. In fact this course should be the first stop for any budding underwater photographers.

Of course there’s no substitute for spending time in the water but as a new diver getting good habits ingrained into your diving will help you take your new skills to the next level and give you the confidence to embrace new diving challenges.

To take this course you’ll need to simply be already qualified as an Open Water or Junior Open Water diver.

What will you learn On The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Course?

During at least two scuba dives you will:

Correct your weights so that you’re not too heavy or too light in the equipment you’re using.
Balance and trim weights so that you get the most streamlined and efficient position in the water.
Hover effortlessly in any position – vertical, horizontal or even upside down!

Get ahead of the game and complete your theory before you arrive

Even before you get in the water you'll be already impressed by the dive site. Twin limestone karsts topped with tropical foliage jut out [...]

A huge storm a few years later destroyed what little was left of the coral. A couple of wrecks and a maze of cubes were sunk to attract some of the marine life back. These numerous cubes, wrecks, reef balls, statues and even a scooter have helped the [...]
