For most divers, mastering buoyancy control is the single hardest aspect about diving. By taking the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy  (PPB)  Specialty course, divers will learn the essential skills and techniques required to control their buoyancy, thus making them better, more comfortable controlled divers. The course can be taken over one day, and includes two boat dives, and a knowledge development session with your instructor.

The fundamentals of the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course are :

• Buoyancy checks
• Fine tuning your buoyancy underwater
• Weight positioning and distribution
• Streamlining
• Visualization

And during your two open water dives your instructor will look at the six following skills with you .

1. Positioning and distributing weights correctly for comfort and to achieve a desired body position in the water.
2. Visualization techniques prior to entering the water
3. Buoyancy weight checks
4. Establishing and maintaining neutral buoyancy throughout the entire dive
5. Fine tuning neutral buoyancy underwater.
6. Mastering hovering in different positions.

This course is one of the best and most useful scuba courses you will ever take. By improving your buoyancy skills you will not only feel more comfortable in the water, but will use less air and extend your dive times. The main problems that you see in all divers, even very experienced divers is that they are over-weighted, thus leading to poor  buoyancy control and increased air consumption. Your instructor will review your current weighting, and more often than not will remove one or two weights from your belt. The most important aspect of buoyancy is breathing control, and this is the skill that we will focus on most during the course.

Beware

Please remember that when you are choosing a place to do your diving course, it is not the center that is important, but the instructor. Many of the large dive centers employ inexperienced instructors, and you want to avoid this at all costs. If you are unsure please ask the center who your instructor will be and ask to see their qualifications. Here at Dive Travel Asia, the instructors that we use have a minimum of 1000 dives, and must have been an instructor for at least 5 years.
