1 day | 2 Open Water Dives

Take the skills you have learned as a new diver to the next level and become an Buoyancy Jedi!

Excellent buoyancy control is the - number 1 - most essential skill every diver should master.

Suppose you want to fine-tune your buoyancy and soar over reefs, extend bottom time by using air more efficiently and become a better and more confident diver. In that case, the Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty course is for you!

Better buoyancy control is the key to protecting coral reefs and fragile aquatic life and getting the most out of your underwater experiences, mainly if you are interested in underwater photography, wreck penetration, or deep diving. Most importantly, good buoyancy control is essential for your safety.

Your buoyancy is affected by six factors: ballast weight, BCD inflation, trim, exposure suit, depth, and breath control.

IMPORTANT! -Flying after Diving

When planning your diving trip and your journey toward your destinations, always remember that you must not fly directly after scuba diving. It accentuates the risk of having decompression sickness.

The PADI guidelines are to NOT FLY during a 12 hours interval after a single dive and 18 hours after multiple dives. As often when it comes to scuba diving, take a conservative approach to safety, and whenever possible, avoid flying the next 24 hours after a dive.

If you intend to do multiple dives on different days during your trip, consider buying your own dive computer, as it will calculate the optimal time to fly based on your diving history.

Even more than other outdoor sports, diving is weather- and sea-dependent. Be aware that some sites might be inaccessible on certain days and that diving trips might be canceled due to dangerous conditions.

Luckily, Thailand has a fantastic climate almost all year round and this happens very rarely.
