PERFECT BUOYANCY COURSE OVERVIEW

Do you want to glide effortlessly through the water, conserve energy, and extend your dive time? The SSI Perfect Buoyancy Diving Course teaches you how to fine-tune your buoyancy control, making every dive smoother, safer, and more enjoyable. Whether you’re a new diver looking to improve your skills or an experienced diver wanting to refine your technique, this course will help you take your diving to the next level.

Buoyancy control is one of the most important skills in scuba diving. When you master it, you move more efficiently, reduce air consumption, and protect the underwater environment by avoiding accidental contact with the reef or seabed. Plus, better buoyancy makes you a more confident and relaxed diver, allowing you to focus on the incredible marine life around you.

How long does the Perfect Buoyancy course take?

The course takes about one day. It includes theory and at least two training dives where you will practice buoyancy, trim, and control.

Do I need my own equipment?

No, you don’t need to own equipment to join. Ocean Tribe provides high-quality rental gear. However, the course is a great opportunity to test different setups, such as backplate-and-wing BCDs, and learn what might suit you best before buying your own.
