Short of remembering to breathe and equalize, there is no skill more critical to divers than controlling buoyancy — and no skill more difficult for new divers to master. In an ideal world, no diver would ever need this course, as you simply wouldn’t be able to get certified unless you could demonstrate adequate buoyancy skills.
Unfortunately, the average diver’s buoyancy skills are an embarrassment — and make divers a danger to themselves and the environment.
Why do so many divers have such poor buoyancy skills? There are several reasons, including:
- Developing good buoyancy control skills takes time and practice.
- Learning to control buoyancy also requires the opportunity to get out and dive, while frequently stopping, starting and changing depth.
While we would like to think that our beginning divers are fortunate enough to avoid these problems, not every diver gets to learn to dive from us. And even some of our own students could use a little more work in this area. This is why we offer this convenient Specialty Diver course — so that every diver has the opportunity to master and excel at this important skill.
