Posted: Jul 25 in Dive Blog, Latest News by JanScuba divers like to be neutrally buoyant so they neither sink nor float. It can be a tricky thing. Divers who’ve mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart. You’ve seen them in the water: they glide effortlessly, use less air, and ascend, descend or hover almost without thought. They interact gently with aquatic life and have little or no affect on their surroundings. With a little coaching and practice, you too can be that diver.
The Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Class gives divers of all levels an opportunity to build a solid foundation of buoyancy, balance, trim, and weighting skills which are the keys to fun and effortless diving. You will also be introduced to new propulsion and positioning techniques. The class consists of one 2 hour classroom session, 1 pool session and two open water dives. Here are the details:
Tuition: $125 plus manual
Classroom session: August 15, 10am till noon.
Pool: August 16, 9:00 am till 11:30 am
Dives: To be scheduled.
If you only take one class this year, this is the one you should take. Sign up today!
