Peak Performance Buoyancy
The purpose of the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Speciality Course is to polish a diver's buoyancy control beyond the Open Water Diver level. The goal of PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy training is to enhance the student diver's buoyancy control abilities through knowledge development and practical skills practice.
 
 
 
 
Prerequisites
Be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver, PADI Junior Open Water Diver or have equivalent ratings.
Be 10 years of age or older.
The Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive conducted during the PADI Advanced Open Water Program may be counted toward this speciality at the discretion of the instructor conducting the Speciality Course.

           fine-tuning buoyancy underwater
           weight position and distribution
           streamlining
           visualization
Use of PADI's "Basic Weighting Guidelines."
 
An opportunity to polish buoyancy control beyond the Open Water Diver level:
           positioning and distributing weight for comfort and desired body position (trim in the water)
           visualization techniques prior to dives
           buoyancy checks
            establishing neutral buoyancy during all segments of a dive

The information presented in this course can be efficiently covered by having student divers watch PADI's Peak Performance Buoyancy video.
A detailed knowledge presentation is not necessary when students view the video. Student independent-study through the use of the video is highly recommended.
When the video is not available, use the knowledge presentation provided in the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Speciality Course Instructor Outline.
