There is no better way to master bouyancy control than with the PADI Peak Performance Bouyancy Speciality Course (PPB). Imagine controling how you soar over reefs literally by being so finally tuned weightwise that you breathe your way over them.
This course is fun, fun, fun all the way, playing underwater games that aid in the development of your bouyancy control. With Subaquamundo you will learn the PPB speciality with 2 dives right here in Murcia in conditions that are ideal for skills development courses. You can take the PPB course right after completing the Padi Open Water Certification with us here in Mazarron or even inetgrate 1 part of it into the PADI Adventures In Diving course or PADI Advanced Open Water.
While you are taking part in the PADI Peak Performance Bouyancy Speciality Course (PBB) you will be guided by PADI's basic weighting guidelines to ensure that you are diving with the correct amount of weight, (you will be amazed at how many divers are carrying to much weight) being weighted correctly ensures that your air supply will last longer as you do not have to over compensate to become bouyant.
Once you are weighted correctly we will then go onto the fun part of the course where the games begin fine tuning our bouyancy underwater, positioning weight systems correctly so that we are diving in a natural way with minimum arm movements and becoming streamlined to ensure a good trim. We also account for magnification whilst underwater and one of the games we play actually learns us in a fun way how things appear closer than they actually are.
