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.
Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 10 years old, are eligible to take the Peak Performance Buoyancy course.

Also, the first dive of the Peak Performance Buoyancy course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask us about earning credit.
You may be able to get college credit for the Peak Performance Buoyancy course.

Please read the complete details and download the form here.
If you have a copy of this form signed by a physician within 12 months prior to the expected completion date of your course, and your medical history has not changed, then you may provide a copy of it to your instructor. Otherwise, you will need to complete a new form.

Stop by or call us to enroll in the course and get the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy eLearning. By studying before the dives, you’ll be better prepared to start practicing your buoyancy skills when you go diving with your Instructor.
It’s not required, but it’s best to use your own scuba equipment, including a weight system, so that you fine-tune your buoyancy in gear you’ll use on every dive. Our Instructor and crew can help you find the equipment that is best for you and your diving adventures.
With your PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy certification, you’re well on your way toward earning additional specialty diver certifications, the Advanced Open Water Diver certification, or the prestigious Master Scuba Diver certification. You may want to expand your diving skills even more with the Rescue Diver course. Ask your instructor or divemaster, stop by, or give us a call for more details.
