Perfect Buoyancy Control Class - Classroom and dives at Mermet Springs
>> Print and Share Flyer
May 8, 2010 - Saturday 9AM to 5PM

Instructors and Dive masters have long recognized the need for a buoyancy training program which improves safe diving practices and promotes environmental awareness. Divers often think that if they don't crash to the bottom like a rock, or pop to the surface, they have good buoyancy control.

The Perfect Buoyancy Control course will help you with proper weighting techniques, weight placement and proper attitude in the water. Through the course certified divers will learn to be more aware of proper ascent rates, horizontal hovering and breathing, subtle body movement techniques to control, and be shown what their swimming cross section really is.

This course will teach you the basics to improve your buoyancy control skills and increase your, environmental impact awareness, air consumption and overall comfort in the water.
