Course overview

The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy specialty fine-tunes your weighting, trim and air consumption, and Fujairah's gently sloping reefs are a great place to feel the difference. Hovering effortlessly over the coral at Dibba Rock, you learn to glide without touching the bottom, protecting the reef while making every dive longer and more relaxed.

What you’ll learn

• Determine your ideal weighting and weight distribution
• Achieve neutral buoyancy and streamlined trim
• Hover motionless in any position without finning
• Fine-tune breathing control to ascend and descend smoothly
• Glide close to reefs without contact, lowering air consumption

Prerequisites
