This specialty is designed to increase the open water diver\u2019s understanding of the factors that influence buoyancy, and to train the diver how to use the means available to him as methods for controlling his buoyancy. The added benefits to the marine and freshwater environments, cannot be overstated; as well as a diver that has better control of himself in conjunction with his environment.<\/p>\n<h3>Course prerequisites:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Minimum age 18, 10 with parental consent<\/li>\n<li>SDI Open Water Scuba Diver, SDI Junior Open Water Scuba Diver, or equivalent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">What you can expect to learn<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The SDI Advanced Buoyancy Diver course takes an in-depth look at all of the following and more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why do we care about buoyancy?\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t touch the aquatic life, save the environment<\/li>\n<li>Less fatigue, less effort required, more fun<\/li>\n<li>Reduced air consumption = more bottom time<\/li>\n<li>Able to control buoyancy = better pictures or video<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>When must a buoyancy check be performed?\n<ul>\n<li>When equipment is changed<\/li>\n<li>When diving environment is changed<\/li>\n<li>Have not been diving for a while<\/li>\n<li>During every dive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Buoyancy factors\n<ul>\n<li>Additional equipment; photo, video, extra cylinder, extra equipment, dive lights, etc<\/li>\n<li>Cylinder weight changes during a dive as air is consumed from the cylinder, dependent on cylinder size<\/li>\n<li>Using lungs vs. BCD.<\/li>\n<li>Using BCD vs. dry suit<\/li>\n<li>Staying physically fit<\/li>\n<li>Breathing patterns and technique<\/li>\n<li>Compression of suit due to water pressure<\/li>\n<li>Weights \u2013 position and distribution and what impact that may have<\/li>\n<li>Streamlining equipment<\/li>\n<li>Streamlining body (body positions)<\/li>\n<li>Efficient kicking style<\/li>\n<li>Practicing your skills<\/li>\n<li>Weighting<\/li>\n<li>How to perform a standard buoyancy check; with an almost empty cylinder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Some of the required skills you will have to demonstrate include:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Assembling of dive equipment<\/li>\n<li>Pre-dive check<\/li>\n<li>Perform a pre-dive buoyancy check with almost empty cylinder<\/li>\n<li>Adjust weight to achieve correct buoyancy<\/li>\n<li>Change cylinder and use a full cylinder<\/li>\n<li>Do a pre-dive buoyancy check with full cylinder<\/li>\n<li>Controlled descent<\/li>\n<li>Hovering exercises\n<ul>\n<li>Fine-tune with breath control<\/li>\n<li>Fine-tune with BCD or dry suit<\/li>\n<li>Close to bottom exercises, no touch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Swimming exercises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Pricing:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"row \"><div class=\"col-sm-6 \"><table class=\"table table-striped table-bordered\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Advanced Buoyancy Control<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac 180,00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-6 \"><a href=\"\/contact\/\" title=\"Want to Know More?
