Peak Performance Buoyancy: August 14 & 16
Want to fine-tune and develop precision buoyancy control skills, learn new propulsion techniques, and vastly improve your comfort in the water? Then the Peak Performance Buoyancy course is for you. Whether you are a beginner or a diver of many years, this class will surely give you many new tips and tricks that will increase your diving skill. You will learn good body posture, proper weighting strategies, and develop the ability to make small moves in depth and position with minimal effort. These skills are a “must” for photographers and those who love to look closely at the reef without touching or causing harm. The dives in this course will even be filmed and reviewed so you can see exactly what you do well and what you need to work on.
SPECIAL BONUS FOR THIS CLASS ONLY: The open water dives for this class will take place on the same day and at the same location as the big annual Treasure Hunt & Pig Roast! So not only will you be learning and practicing better buoyancy, you will also get to participate in the hunt for prizes and the great food! You must still sign up for the Treasure Hunt and Pig Roast separately; call New Horizons at 277-1234 and/or click here for details.
The course takes place in two sessions:
Thurs., August 14: 6:00pm - 10:00pm at New Horizons in (classroom work)
Sat., August 16: 9:00am - 5:00pm at Falling Rock Park in LaGrange (open water dives)
Prerequisite: Open Water Diver or other beginner scuba certification
Instructor: Ed Gabe
Course fee: $150 per person
Additional costs: tank fills, admission to Falling Rock Park, transportation
If you need a scuba kit, rental for the open water dives is included; all you need is your own mask, fins & snorkel.
No textbook or advance preparation is required, and there is no written test. If you show improvement through the open water dives and can demonstrate controlled hovering, refined propulsion techniques, controlled ascents and descents, and good team awareness, you will be awarded the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy certification at the end of the course; this counts toward your Master Scuba Diver rating.
