The big secret about Peak Performance Buoyance is that it's a very fun class. We play lots of games involving hula hoops, ping pong balls, and a few other surprises. You learn a critical diving skill in an interactive and fun environment.

Our course, as featured in June 2008 edition of Sport Diver magazine, goes beyond what you'll get from most other instructors. We incorporate yoga poses you can practice on land that help with buoyancy control, along with breathing exercises to learn better breath control. We also teach techniques so that you can visualize yourself moving effortlessly through the water, which increases your confidence and decreases anxiety while diving. You'll leave our course with knowledge and skills you can practice every day to make yourself a better diver.
