Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty

The Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty is the key to diving with true control and ease. If you’ve ever admired divers who seem to float effortlessly or want to improve your air consumption and protect marine life, this course is for you. Whether you’re newly certified or working toward your Advanced Open Water, mastering buoyancy will transform how you dive.

In this specialty, you’ll complete two open water dives entirely focused on trim, balance, breathing control, and environmental awareness. These dives are designed to help you move more efficiently, hover in place, and maintain perfect positioning underwater.

The Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty is particularly helpful if you’re considering continuing education. It complements courses like Nitrox and prepares you for more advanced skills, such as those covered in the Self-Reliant Diver course. By developing precise buoyancy control, you’ll be ready to tackle any dive environment with confidence.
