This can be used to becoming a PADI MASTER SCUBA DIVER

Excellent buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought. They more easily observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. You can achieve this, too. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates them to the next level.

Prerequisites:

PADI Openwater Diver or equivalent
Minimum 10 years of age
Current Dive Medical (conducted within the previous 12 months)

Course overview:

• Determine the exact weight you need, so you're not too light or too heavy.
• Trim your weight system and scuba gear so you're perfectly balanced in the water.
• Streamline to save energy, use air more efficiently.
• Hover effortlessly in any position.

The course is divided into 3 segments:

1. Read and complete E-Learning Manuel
2. Instructor will go over your answers and talk more about gear
3. 2x Open Water dives going over skills and techniques to improve your buoyancy

What do I need?

Personal dive gear (Full Kit) plus 2x tanks for the two open water dives. Don't worry if you don't have this yet as you can hire it for $100, but for comfort, we recommend you have your own. Speak to us first before purchasing to be sure the equipment is appropriate.

Course cost 

Cost includes all training and reference materials, 2x open water dives with an Auckland Scuba Instructor.
