THEORY

Digital / eLearning OR Traditional Classroom and Book:

During this program, you will learn

• Learn how to trim your scuba gear so you’re perfectly balanced in the water
• Learn nuances in determining weight so you’re not too light nor too heavy by even a slight degree
• Learn how to streamline to save air and move smoothly through the water
• Learn how to hover effortlessly in both a vertical position and a horizontal position

For Traditional Classroom/Book option – Successful Classroom Time: 1 hour for 1 day

The course doesn’t involve a written exam. You will put the theory into practice in two dives and will learn to fine-tune your buoyancy skills

OPEN WATER DIVES

During two open-water dives, you’ll test your buoyancy at the surface to determine the right amount of weight for your dive. After descending to the bottom, you’ll use the fin-pivot skill to get neutrally buoyant. Then you’ll kick a few feet off the bottom to practice hovering motionlessly.

The next step is to maintain neutral buoyancy, making small adjustments through your breathing or with your BCD. Along the way, you’ll practice maintaining a comfortable, horizontal swimming position, as well as different finning techniques like the flutter and frog kicks.
