PEAK PERFORMANCE BUOYANCY

What is neutral buoyancy? Scuba divers like to be neutrally buoyant so they neither sink nor float. It can be a tricky thing. Excellent buoyancy control is what defines a skilled scuba diver. Divers who’ve mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart.

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.

THE FUN PART

The fun part of this course is giving your dive skills an extra gold star for performance. Unfortunately we have seen the poor diver examples of those who tumble into the reef or other divers. Diving with proper trim and neutral buoyancy makes you a better diver. You have seen them … they glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, with complete confidence and ease.

Proper buoyancy also preserves your air, potentially extending your bottom time. Would you rather expend more air fighting for neutral buoyancy or for bottom time? Graduates of the Peak Performance Buoyancy course tend to become strong advocates for reef conservation and instil these values on others.

WHAT YOU LEARN

During two scuba dives, you’ll learn to:

  • Ensure proper weighting, so you’re not too light or too heavy.
  • How to trim your weight system and scuba gear so you’re perfectly balanced in the water.
  • Streamline to save energy, use air more efficiently and move more smoothly through the water.
  • Hover effortlessly in any position – vertical or horizontal.
  • Practise maneuvering through hoops and ladders to demonstrate your skills

PREREQUISITES

PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 10 years old, are eligible to take the Peak Performance Buoyancy course.

EQUIPMENT

Basic scuba gear is required for this course as required for conditions.

LEARNING MATERIALS

The course materials include the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy e-learning module, which is an important component of your new superpower… precision buoyancy! During the e-learning, you’ll learn about some of the main procedures and techniques used in establishing proper weighting and trim. Your instructor will review these techniques, and you’ll spend time during your open water dives fine tuning your weighting, weight placement and even work on finning techniques to get you fully “dialed in.”

YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE

Part of mastering buoyancy control is learning how to use your BCD and weight system effectively, plus maintain streamlining. This makes the PADI Equipment Specialist course a natural companion, because you learn more about these pieces of gear and how to make them suit your specific diving styles. Pairing this course with a Project Aware Fish ID or Wreck Diving course makes a great combination also.

This course earns you credit towards the PADI Master Scuba Diver standing.

This is a first rate place to learn how to dive. Brad's team is well organized, experienced, enthusiastic...and nice people! They don't cut corners on the training but help you through it. And they make it fun. My final checkout dive was delayed by a family matter so a few weeks later Brad the owner took me though it one-on-one. You can't get more dedicated than that. After certifying I did my first mid-week dive at Gulliver's Lake and what a great way to gain experience when you start out. I'm looking forward to many years at Float N Flag and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn recreational diving.

Brad and the team at Float N Flag are some of the most enthusiastic and organized people we work with. As a dive destination, we see dozens of groups from around the world every season in Tobermory, ON. Brad is always professional, organized, and displaying a true passion for both the sport he loves and the business he runs. We would recommend Float N Flag without hesitation to new divers and experienced divers looking for a great group of people to dive with! Keep up the great work!!!

I recently attended the open water course with my 14 year old son. Rob was a fantastic instructor that took the time to ensure that all of the concepts and skills were understood and mastered. George also assisted in the pool and was kind enough to lend his spare mask to my son after his developed a leak. It is evident that Brad and Tammy run a very organized dive centre. The shop and classroom are clean and the logistics at the pool are well thought out. I highly recommend Float N' Flag Dive Centre.

Just completed open water course March 2018. Awesome experience. Instructors were fun and totally thorough on all skills. I wouldn't look to any other shop. Great value. Feel 100% confident about diving. Float N Flag has an awesome community and has tons of SCUBA events around Ontario and abroad.

Float n Flag is amazing with my Junior Open water divers. My son recently certified and they were very patient and provided lots of encouragement during his lessons when he was nervous. My daughter is excited about her upcoming certification and the staff share her passion for wanting to dive. I am thrilled with the service we receive and proud to call them my home shop.

I have always found Brad and his staff to be very friendly, knowledgeable and not intimidating to newer divers. They always have safety at the forefront but have a lot of fun as well. I just recently came back from my first boat diving holiday in Roatan run by Brad, and apart from being the only one bitten by bugs (not a fault of Float n Flag!), I had a wonderful time. Brad's enthusiasm for diving and underwater creatures is something he passes on to those who dive with him. Thank you so much Brad to you and your staff.

Brad and his team were very professional and knowledgeable; they made diving fun and exciting for a new learner. I was impressed with their schedule flexibility and how accommodating they were to my scheduling conflicts. The ratio of instructor to student was great and personal. Diving with Float n Flag felt like being part of a close community.
Sherry Du
Float n' Flag is a top notch dive centre. Brad is extremely safety-conscious and professional and instills these qualities in his dive masters. They go out of their way to ensure divers are comfortable in the water and have the skills required. We recently travelled with Float n' Flag and had an amazing experience. I was really impressed at the organization, thought and care that went into the entire trip experience.

Very professional owner, new to the stores new location and owner but seems like Float N’ Flag’s legacy is in good hands. Looking forward to dealing with them in the near future.
