Training · PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty

Peak Performance Buoyancy in Puerto Rico.

Good buoyancy is what makes a dive feel easy. In two dives you work on your weighting, trim, breathing and how you move, so you hover steady, use less effort and stay off the reef.

How the course works

PADI eLearning, at home. It’s required, and it’s bought separately from PADI. Buy it through our link so it connects straight to your instructor. If it isn’t done, you can’t start and we’ll have to reschedule.
Weighting and trim. With your instructor you find the right amount of weight, do a buoyancy check and get your body balanced in the water.
Two training dives. Shallow dives to practice hovering, breathing control, streamlining and efficient fin kicks, moving smoothly without stirring up the bottom.

Why it’s worth it

Better buoyancy means less wasted effort. You move more efficiently, and over time that can help your air last longer.

It also makes you safer and more comfortable on every dive after this one, and it keeps you and your fins away from the reef.

If you struggle at first, that’s fine. Your instructor adjusts your weighting and trim and gives you more practice time. You improve at your own pace.

Before you come

Finish your eLearning and bring proof that it’s complete (a screenshot of the completion page or the email is fine).
Bring your certification card and a dive computer, or rent one when you book.
Bring your own gear if you have it. Weighting and trim are personal, so it works best with the gear you’ll keep diving with. Rental gear is BCD, regulator, mask, snorkel and fins. Add it when you book.
Bring a swimsuit, a towel, sun protection and dry clothes. There are no restrooms right at the site, so make a stop before you arrive.
Arrive 15 minutes early. The meeting point and directions are in your confirmation email.

Next courses

Good buoyancy helps with everything else. Add Nitrox for longer dives, or keep building skills with Sidemount, Night Diver or DPV.

Peak Performance Buoyancy questions

Do I need to be an experienced diver?

No. It helps newly certified divers and experienced divers who want more control. You need an Open Water certification, or the equivalent.

How much does it cost?

From $250 per person, plus tax. PADI eLearning is bought separately from PADI. Rental gear is $35 and a dive computer is $10, plus tax, if you need them.

Is eLearning required?

Yes. Finish it before your dive day. Students who haven’t finished it can’t start and will need to reschedule.

Will it help my air consumption?

Yes. Better buoyancy cuts out extra effort, so you move more efficiently, and that can improve your air use over time.

How deep are the training dives?

Usually shallow, between 6 and 10 meters (20 to 30 ft). Buoyancy skills are easiest to practice at a comfortable, controlled depth.

Can I do it as part of Advanced Open Water?

Yes. You can take it after Open Water, or include it in your Advanced Open Water training, depending on scheduling.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled time for a full refund. Later cancellations and no-shows are charged in full. You can reschedule once, depending on availability. Read the full policy.
