Part 1: Theory

Start with the Basics
Your Perfect Buoyancy Specialty begins with an introduction to your instructor and completing necessary paperwork. The theory is covered through self-study on your app or browser, giving you time to grasp the concepts at your own pace.

Weight and Technique Preparation
You’ll calculate the correct weight for your dives, and together with your instructor, discuss weight adjustment and distribution specific to the seawater around Koh Tao. You’ll also learn visualization techniques, breathing patterns, and practice finning skills on land.

Optional Buoyancy Clinic
To refine your skills further, we may include a buoyancy clinic in our pool, tailored to your needs, ensuring your dives are even more successful.

Part 2: Open Water Dives

Afternoon Adventures
After lunch, we’ll board one of our custom-built dive boats and head out for your dives.

First Dive: Refining the Basics
The initial dive focuses on optimizing the amount of weight you carry, helping you streamline and reduce drag. You’ll also practice hovering in various positions, allowing you to remain motionless and fully immerse yourself when surrounded by marine life.

Second Dive: Perfecting Techniques
On the second dive, you’ll refine your trim, master your hovering, and polish your finning techniques to minimize impact on marine life and conserve air.

Buoyancy Games
Both dives include fun buoyancy games designed to fine-tune your skills and reinforce the techniques you’ve learned. These activities help build the foundation for achieving perfect buoyancy.

Certification Completion
After the dives, we’ll log your ideal weight, factoring in the suit of your choice and Koh Tao’s water salinity, into your dive logbook. Congratulations—you’re now a certified Perfect Buoyancy Specialty Diver!
