Program Itinerary
Day 1
Morning session
Adventure dive 1
Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive - What is neutral buoyancy? Scuba divers like to be neutrally buoyant so they neither sink nor float. It can be a tricky thing. Divers who’ve mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, almost as if by thought. They interact gently with aquatic life and affect their surroundings minimally.
The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course refines the basic skills you learned as a PADI Open Water Diver and elevates them to the next level.
The Fun Part
The fun part of this course is giving your dive skills a polish you may not have thought possible.
What You Learn
·How to trim your scuba gear so you’re perfectly balanced in the water
·Nuances in determining weight so you’re not too light nor too heavy by even a slight degree
Adventure dive 2
Underwater Navigation Dive - Be the diver everyone wants to follow and make your sense of direction legendary with the PADI Underwater Navigator dive.
The Fun Part
Finding your way is not a matter of luck! When everyone’s buzzing about a reef or checking out a shipwreck, they’re having a great time - until it’s time to go. Then they turn to you, because as a PADI Underwater Navigator, you know the way back to the boat.
Evening session
Adventure dive 3
Night Dive - As the sun sets, you don your dive gear, slip on your scuba mask and bite down on your dive regulator. A deep breath and you step off the boat - into the underwater night. Although you’ve seen this reef many times before, this time you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light.
The Fun Part
Introduce yourself to the whole new cast of critters that comes out after the sun goes down. See your favorite dive sites from a whole new perspective at night.
DAY 2
Morning session
Adventure dive 4
Deep dive - After your first few scuba dives, you soon want to explore a bit deeper. There’s something exciting and mysterious about the depth that attracts dives.
The Fun Part
The fun part about this course is the opportunity to explore the deep. It’s exhilarating.
Adventure dive 5
AWARE - Fish Identification Dive - Have you ever been scuba diving and asked yourself, "What was that?”
The PADI Project AWARE Fish Identification adventure dive provides you with the fish identification basics so that next time, you know the answer.
The Fun Part
You’ll find you enjoy your dives even more when you recognize the creatures that you see. The fun part about this course is you can use the skills you learn on every scuba diving vacation because once you learn the main fish families and characteristics it will help you decipher the species you see all over the world.
For example, a butterfly fish in the Caribbean has a similar shape to a butterfly fish in Southeast Asia, but their colors and markings maybe wildly different. If you know what fish family it belongs to, it becomes much easier to look up the local name or at least be able to intelligently ask the local scuba instructor what you saw. That works better than asking about a “yellow thingy with a funny tail fin.”
What You Learn
During the dive you gain hands-on (okay, eyes-on) experience in looking for and identifying the fascinating fish you see underwater.
