Perfect Buoyancy Specialty Course

Fine Tune Your Buoyancy Skills

Improving your buoyancy control skills is highly recommended. Every diver who wants to improve diving skills and at the same time wants to perform active environmental protection should improve their buoyancy.

 

Nearly every diver who wants to dive on great spots on holiday is requested to do a Check-Out Dive and buoyancy control is one of the essential skills that has to be performed. This isn't done to stress you out at the start of your vacation. It is done to protect the reefs you will be diving around. The destruction and harm caused by divers with weak buoyancy skills is having an impact on reefs worldwide. Additionally, perfect buoyancy control is a prerequisite for nearly all Specialty Courses.

 

Most importantly, improving your buoyancy and fine tuning your skills will make you more comfortable and confident in the water, as well as help you to conserve your air.

Important Information

Included: Transport (day trips), charter costs, refreshments and all your meals for the weekend (liveaboard only), tanks & weights, airfills, international certification.

 

Not Included: All scuba equipment. WH&S recommends that each diver uses their own personal items to reduce the possibility of disease transmission. Snorkelling packages are available to buy at special "Student" discount rates.

 

Requirements:

  • SSI Open Water certification or equivalent.

  • Log book proof that you have dived within the last 12 months. If you have not dived in the last 12 months it is recommended that you take a refresher course. This can be incorporated into your course.

  • WH&S requires every diver to carry their own visual and audible signalling device. Snorkel Safari Brisbane recommends a safety sausage and dive whistle which are available for purchase ($29.97).

 

Recommended: Dive gloves and a dive knife. Gloves protect you from cuts and scrapes and a dive knife will allow you to cut underwater entanglements such as fishing line.
