Hallmarks of a good diver are the ability to glide through the water with the grace and ease, hover for comfortable and accurate safety stops, all the while never making contact with the fragile environment or hanging onto a line. If this sounds like you then congratulations! If not, Advanced Buoyancy is for you.

The Advanced Buoyancy class will polish your buoyancy control beyond the Open Water Diver level. Buoyancy training enhances your diving abilities through knowledge development and practical skills practice. Fine tuning your neutral buoyancy skills benefits you by: conserving your air for more bottom time, saving energy, keeping visibility good which allows for better photos and videos, preventing damage to the environment and your dive equipment, and most importantly protecting sensitive aquatic environments. You will learn and practice the buoyancy fundamentals as well learning good trim, propulsion techniques and how to create a balanced rig.

All dives will be video taped and we will review the video of your dives. Video is a great training aid and will give fantastic personal feedback.

The tuition of this course is $250 and includes the certification fee. There is no student manual for this course. The duration of this course is two (2) days and will focus on buoyancy improvement.
