Over two dives you will practice buoyancy control including hovering motionless in the water. Not only will we work on your buoyancy itself, but also on your trim, allowing you to move comfortably through the water. Better trim and buoyancy will lead to less effort when diving and therefore lower air consumption and longer dives! Also learn to - 

• Determine the exact weight you need, so you’re not too light or too heavy
• 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

We show you how to use visualisation techniques before your dives, which has a lot of underwater benefits. By stopping and taking the time before a dive to get yourself into the right frame of mind you can help yourself to relax and establish a comfortable breathing pattern, which will, in turn, help your buoyancy.

Any diver with a PADI Open Water certification or above can take the PPB course. It’s ideal for those divers who want some extra practice and tutoring to help them master buoyancy control, or who have changed their equipment set up and need some extra help in achieving a good trim position in the water.
