What does the Perfect Buoyancy course in Gozo look like?

The SSI Perfect Buoyancy course is a specialty program designed to enhance a diver’s control over buoyancy, a fundamental skill for safe and enjoyable diving. Through a combination of theory sessions and practical underwater training, divers learn the nuances of buoyancy, including optimal weighting, breath control, and body positioning. This training empowers divers to achieve precise buoyancy adjustments, helping them conserve air, reduce physical exertion, and avoid unintentional contact with fragile underwater environments. The course is open to divers of all experience levels with a minimum certification of Open Water Diver, and it provides valuable skills for both new and experienced divers.

Upon completion, divers earn the SSI Perfect Buoyancy certification, which counts toward advanced SSI ratings like the Advanced Open Water Diver. This course provides a foundation for confident, efficient, and environmentally-conscious diving that benefits divers in all types of underwater exploration.

Knowledge

The knowledge part is based on an accessible digital manual that you can read on your computer or in an app on your mobile phone. We can make it available to you even before you arrive to give you more time to process the knowledge.

The manual covers all the most important topics necessary to master buoyancy control. Thesa are for example equipment and setup, proper breathing, proper weighting, environment awareness and the physics of buoyancy.

Each chapter of the manual ends with review questions to help find out if you understand everything. In addition, you also have our instructors to discuss the most important issues with you and clarify any doubts. At the end you will need to pass a short online exam.

Practice

The curriculum covers effective use of the Buoyancy Control Device (BCD), trim adjustments, and controlled breathing techniques, which all contribute to a diver’s ability to hover and maneuver with ease. Through practice dives, divers gain hands-on experience in real-world conditions, honing their buoyancy skills for various environments and dive situations.
