The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy pathway

PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy is a short but high-value specialty that counts toward the Master Scuba Diver rating and improves comfort and air consumption on every subsequent dive.

Where you'll dive in Similan Islands

Buoyancy training uses the sheltered local reefs off Khao Lak where calm, shallow conditions in the November-to-April season let you focus on control before applying it on the coral-rich Similan park sites.
