Certification Course
PEAK PERFORMANCE BUOYANCY COURSE
Description
The Peak Performance Buoyancy (PPB) course is designed to help certified divers fine-tune their buoyancy control. You’ll learn how to hover with ease, reduce air consumption, and move more gracefully underwater — all while minimizing impact on delicate marine life.
This one-day course is one of the most practical things any certified diver can do before joining a day trip or continuing with the PADI Advanced Open Water course.
Academic
Your instructor will work with you to refine your trim, streamline your gear, and adjust your weights for perfect balance. You’ll learn:
- How to adjust your buoyancy precisely with breath control
- Hovering in any position
- Efficient kicking and movement
- Identifying and fixing common buoyancy issues
- Improving air consumption
- Coral-safe diving techniques
Equipment
We provide full necessary scuba equipment, including:
- BCD, mask, fins
- Weights & exposure protection
- Scuba tank & regulator
- Dive computer
If you prefer to bring your own gear, please let us know in advance for fitting and inspection.

After Your Course
After completing the PPB course, your improved buoyancy will make every subsequent dive more comfortable and more reef-safe. Consider following up with the PADI Advanced Open Water course to expand your depth range and explore more of Con Dao’s dive sites.
For divers interested in safety and emergency skills, the EFR and Rescue Diver course is the natural next step in your PADI progression.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR DIVERS
Please note that when diving and taking course in Con Dao, we highly recommend all students to have travel insurance that covers freediving and emergency evacuation, due to the island’s remoteness and limited medical facilities.
If your current policy does not cover this, we recommend DAN (Divers Alert Network) for reliable coverage.

All those wishing to partake in PADI Courses must complete the PADI medical form before diving. Click here to view the form.
If the answer is YES to ANY of the questions, please print out the form and see a doctor BEFORE travelling to Con Dao. You must obtain medical certification that it is safe for you to dive. We cannot do this on the island. If your answers are all NO’s, that’s fine – we can complete the medical form when you get here.
Divers should not ascend to a high altitude within 12 hours of completing a single dive or 18 hours after doing multiple dives (whenever possible, wait 24 hours).
