Peak Performance Buoyancy Speciality |

| Overview |
As a diver you want to be neutrally buoyant so can float effortlessly in the water, but it can be a tricky thing! Divers who’ve mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, almost as if by thought. They interact gently with aquatic life and affect their surroundings minimally. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course refines the basic skills you already know and elevates them to the next level.
