    Become a Buoyancy Ninja on Koh Tao

    There are 2 Peak Performance buoyancy training dives to complete to become a buoyancy skills specialist.
    Peak Performance Buoyancy training dive #1
    After a buoyancy check, you will make a perfect, slow controlled descent, adjusting for neutral buoyancy as you approach your planned depth.
    After the descent, we will go for a nice relaxing dive using an efficient fin kick. We will ask you to focus on staying neutral and on your breathing and not touching the bottom.
    Your instructor will ask you to hover for 60 seconds. Neutrally buoyant with minimal movement, using just your breath control to make minor adjustments.
    You will finish the specific skill portion of the dive by adjusting your weights and practicing hovering vertically, horizontally, and upside down.
    This dive is usually a relaxing, long, and shallow dive that is fun.
    Peak Performance Buoyancy training dive #2
    Another long, slow, and shallow dive, during training dive # 2 your dive instructor will encourage you to focus more on your breathing.
    We work with you to improve your air consumption and make those final minor adjustments to ensure you become a Jedi Buoyancy Specialist.
    Your Dive Instructor will be paying particular attention to your finning action, encouraging you to use long, slow strokes and gliding after each one, which means you expend less energy during your dive Neutral Buoyancy Hovering Skills
    You will also practice more hovering during the dive including one hover for at least 90 seconds.
    To finish the dive off, we will demonstrate and encourage you to practice how to maneuver closer to a clear bottom without touching it and then back away using buoyancy.
    Congratulations on the completion of your course and you are now a PADI Peak Performance buoyancy specialist.
