Advanced Buoyancy Techniques
Tuition: $75

Course Schedule:

August 23 & 24
@ Lake Rawlings Campout Weekend

Competent and comfortable buoyancy skills are what make a competent and comfortable diver. This class is designed to introduce divers to techniques and exercises that they can utilize throughout their diving career to quickly adjust to any changes in equipment configuration (such as using different exposure suits) or environmental conditions (i.e. diving in salt versus fresh water or cold versus warm water) that will affect their buoyancy.

In the summer months, this course involves at least 2 dives in one of our local quarries. We also offer it during any appropriate escorted Gypsy dive trips. A typical course utilizes some specific exercise practice at the open water site and then 2 dives completed under the direct supervision of an instructor. There is no text.

Time Commitment: One day in which two dives shall be completed under instructional supervision.

Text: None

Required Equipment: Personal snorkeling gear and scuba equipment with functioning BCD auto-inflator and alternate air source, PSI/depth gauges or computer, two dive cylinders, appropriate exposure suit, compass, slate.
