The PADI Multilevel Diver
Course |

The PADI Peak Performance
Buoyancy Course |
|
What is
neutral buoyancy? Scuba divers like to be neutrally buoyant so they
neither sink nor float. It can be a tricky thing. Divers who’ve mastered
the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart.
You’ve
seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend,
descend or hover, almost as if by thought. They interact gently with
aquatic life and affect their surroundings minimally. The PADI Peak
Performance Buoyancy course refines the basic skills you learned as
a PADI
Open Water Diver and
elevates them to the next level.

and the environment.
