$100 This specialty is designed to increase the open water diver’s understanding of the factors that influence his buoyancy, and to train the diver in using those means available to him as methods for controlling his buoyancy. The added benefits to the marine, and freshwater environments, cannot be overstated; as well as a diver that has better control of himself in conjunction with his environment.

This specialty course enables the student to perfect their control of their buoyancy in any position in the water column. The course covers the proper weighting and distribution of weight, use of equipment and your lungs to properly control your attitude in the water column. The course consists of one 3 hour class with time in the swimming pool (start time is typically 7:00 pm).

Students should bring any personally owned gear (including wetsuit). If none is owned, gear will be provided.
